Security cabinet meets amid hopes for progress on Lebanon ceasefire

The high-level security cabinet is holding its first meeting since the ousting of former defense minister Yoav Gallant, with reports indicating that ministers are discussion efforts to mediate a ceasefire in Israel’s campaign against Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.

Joining the meeting for the first time is Israel Katz, who was sworn in last week to replace Gallant as Israel’s top defense official.

According to the Ynet news site, the US recently exchanged ceasefire proposals with Israel and also with Lebanese political leaders. The site quotes sources involved in the talks as saying there is a “not bad” chance the sides can advance toward an agreement.
