Security cabinet member: Need to learn more about terms of truce before deciding how to vote

Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter of Likud, a member of the security cabinet, says he has not yet learned sufficient details about the pending ceasefire deal with Hezbollah to decide how he will vote on the proposed agreement during tomorrow’s meeting of the high-ranking forum.

In an X post meant “to calm and give clarity” to residents of the north, Dichter says he would not back the deal if it’s a “copy-paste” of the 2006 UN Security Resolution ending the Second Lebanon War.

“That deal prepared Hezbollah ahead of the third Lebanon war, which it opened on October 8 to help the Hamas murders in Gaza,” adds Dichter, referring to the date in 2023 when the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group began attacking northern communities and military posts.
