Sources in Beirut, Washington and Tel Aviv confirmed that Israel gave the green light to sign the settlement agreement in Lebanon, with a final decision to be issued by the Cabinet. According to Yedioth Ahronoth.

According to reports, during the discussion held by Netanyahu, the green light was given in principle to move forward with the settlement agreement with Lebanon. It was reported that the answer was delivered to Lebanon by US envoy Amos Hochstein. However, other reports explain and clarify: There are still some gaps that must be filled.

For its part, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority added that the agreement with Lebanon was "done", while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is studying how to announce it.

The authority quoted a senior Israeli security source as saying that Israel "gave US envoy Amos Hochstein the green light to move forward with an agreement in Lebanon."

Yedioth Ahronoth reported, citing Israeli officials, that the differences over the ceasefire proposal in Lebanon are not fundamental. And that an agreement on Lebanon can be reached within a few days.

A senior US official said tonight, "We are getting closer to reaching a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon," but stressed that there are still several gaps.

A senior Israeli official explains that Israel's orientation is to move toward a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. According to Lebanese reports, the motivation behind the progress is the Israeli side's fear that if an agreement is not signed in the coming days, the United States will withdraw its hands from mediating between Israel and Lebanon.
