The Security Cabinet will convene today (Tuesday) for consultations and to take a decision on the ceasefire agreement while most of the Israeli public on the right and the left, and an overwhelming majority of coalition voters, are against such an agreement.
In preparation for this, the heads of the coalition factions and ministers in the political-security cabinet will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who will try to persuade them to support the agreement that is taking shape for a ceasefire in the north.
Netanyahu held a marathon of phone calls throughout the evening yesterday and Channel 14's correspondent reports that Netanyahu said in those conversations that the ceasefire agreement is not ideal.
According to Netanyahu, there is a real danger that the United States will force Israel in the UN Security Council to impose a unilateral resolution to stop the war, when on the one hand there will be sanctions against us if we do not stop, and on the other hand we will not have freedom of action in the event of a violation.
In a poll published by Channel 14, it was found that most of the Israeli public on the right and the left, and an overwhelming majority of coalition voters, are against an an arrangement with Lebanon.
