Michael Herzog, Israel’s ambassador to the US, has addressed a potential Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, which Israel’s cabinet plans to discuss this afternoon, Al Jazeera reports.

In comments carried by Israel’s Reshet Bet media, Herzog said the agreement under consideration — under which Hezbollah would agree to withdraw north of the Litani River — “provides space for easing restrictions on arms shipments from the United States to Israel”.

He stressed that Israel will “not allow Hezbollah to grow stronger on Israel’s border.”
