Israel-Lebanon ceasefire in stalemate, Netanyahu: I will not take it to the

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his ministers during a cabinet meeting that he would not put the latest US-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon to a vote in the Knesset until Hezbollah accepts its terms.

According to the Israeli news website 'Ynet', the ministers criticized the fragile ceasefire - which Israeli and Lebanese delegations agreed to renew during a meeting in Washington on Wednesday - and demanded that it be put to a vote in the cabinet before Israel accepts its terms.

However, Netanyahu refused to call a vote, telling ministers that "for the moment, there is no agreement" because Hezbollah has refused to accept his terms.

"Hezbollah is against it, and for that reason I am not making a decision," he said, according to Ynet, adding that "if you accept, I will present it for your approval."

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem appeared to reject the US-brokered ceasefire yesterday, saying his organization would continue to bomb northern Israel as long as attacks on Lebanon continued.
