Israel and Hezbollah Weigh Ceasefire Deal as Allies Urge Restraint

Israel and Hezbollah are considering a US-backed ceasefire for Lebanon, with Prime Minister Netanyahu telling his cabinet he would bring the agreement for approval if Hezbollah agrees. Hezbollah has so far rejected the proposal, while Lebanon's parliament speaker supports a Hezbollah pullback alongside an Israeli withdrawal. Canada and European allies are urging restraint and calling on Israel to halt its military escalation. Egypt has condemned an attack on UNIFIL in Lebanon, and a former chief justice warned that Israel is sliding toward anarchy amid unrest at a judge's home.
