Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Monday not to sign a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, after reports that it would be reached in the coming days.

Ben Gvir considered the agreement with Lebanon to be "a big mistake and a waste of a historic opportunity to eliminate Hezbollah," as he described it.

He addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that "it is not too late to stop this agreement," urging him to continue the war until achieving what he calls "absolute victory."

He added that Israel should reject the ceasefire because "Hezbollah is weak and yearns for an end to the war," as he described it.

Israeli military leaders had previously confirmed that their goal in the war in Lebanon was to "weaken Hezbollah and push it back beyond the Litani, not to eliminate it."

In contrast, Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem confirmed the party's ability to continue fighting, and Sunday recorded the largest number of operations, 51, compared to the previous record of 34.

This comes amid reports that Netanyahu has agreed to a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, and expectations that it will be signed in the "coming days" as negotiations continue to discuss the points of contention.

It is noteworthy that Netanyahu missed the opportunity to reach a prisoner exchange agreement with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) last July, in order to please Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, according to what was published by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority on Sunday.
