A U.S. official told journalist Barak Ravid on Friday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has '100% agreed' to renew the ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to a single source. Netanyahu's office has not yet confirmed the statement. The report comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity around a U.S.-Iran framework deal, which has included demands from Washington for a full multi-front halt to hostilities including in Lebanon. As The Zioneer previously reported, the administration has pressed Israel to refrain from military operations in Lebanon to protect the emerging agreement. Netanyahu has publicly resisted any permanent ceasefire that would restrict Israeli freedom of action in southern Lebanon, and his office has not yet confirmed the reported commitment.
