IDF, Hezbollah

This is where Israel's opposition stands on a cease-fire in the north

While the Israeli government tries to navigate an American administration determined to broker a temporary truce and an Israeli public opposing it, the opposition has its own worries.

Members of Israel's opposition are divided on whether the country should accept the American proposal for a three-week truce in the north to negotiate a more permanent settlement.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said that the government should announce that it accepts the cease-fire proposal - but only for 7 days, so as not to allow Hezbollah to rebuild its command and control systems. He also said that Israel will not accept any proposal which does not include Hezbollah withdrawing from its northern border.

Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party merging Labour and Meretz, said that an agreement which leads to Hezbollah withdrawing to the Litani would be satisfactory. Otherwise, "we will have to do so physically."

Benny Gantz, chairman of the State Camp party, which is projected to be the largest party unaffiliated with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, has not yet commented on the proposal.
