After a Channel 12 report claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to an agreement with the US for a ceasefire process in Lebanon, an Israeli official says, “As we said, Israel was updated about the American proposal but never agreed to it.”

Members of Netanyahu’s entourage stressed on his flight to New York that he had never agreed to a ceasefire and that the topic did not come up in last night’s cabinet meeting.
