🇱🇧🇮🇱⚡️- "Washington is pressuring Jerusalem to implement a complete ceasefire and refrain from attacking inside Lebanon—starting as early as the coming days. A political source told N12 that the Americans are proposing that the ceasefire be defined as “temporary,” at the end of which—just like in Iran—there will be an ultimatum to resume fighting within a week. Israel has not yet decided on the matter, which was also raised at yesterday’s meeting of ambassadors in Washington.

In any case, the IDF is already preparing for a “stop” signal from the political echelon and has shifted into high gear with plans that may be shelved in southern Lebanon. The Political-Security Cabinet will convene this evening, though, as mentioned, there is still no final Israeli decision on the matter, and cabinet ministers are pushing for exactly the opposite—to resume strikes in Beirut and across the Litani River" - N12, Israeli Media.
