Israel far-right minister slams ceasefire with Lebanon as 'serious mistake'

Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir criticised on Thursday a ceasefire deal with Lebanon brokered by Washington, calling it a serious mistake. The ceasefire with Lebanon is a serious mistake and the pipe dreams of advisers are dragging the prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) to wrong decisions, the minister wrote on X. Israel and Lebanon agreed Wednesday to implement a ceasefire but said it would require a complete cessation of fire by Iran-backed Hezbollah, according to a joint statement after US-led talks in Washington.
