Israel’s security cabinet is gearing up for a crucial Tuesday-night vote on a potential ceasefire with Lebanon, even as airstrikes rock southern Beirut and escalate tensions across the region. 🇮🇱🇱🇧
An Israeli official told AFP that the decision hinges on Tuesday’s meeting, while U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby called negotiations with Hezbollah \"very positive\"—though details remain under wraps. 🤝💬
Lebanon’s Deputy Parliament Speaker Elias Bou Saab hinted a deal could drop this week, saying, \"We are approaching the ceasefire moment.\" But violence hasn’t paused: Israeli strikes hit Hezbollah targets in Beirut’s suburbs and southern Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 36 people, per Lebanese health authorities. 🚨💔
The UN expressed alarm over attacks on Lebanese soldiers, adding to the diplomatic marathon involving the U.S., EU, and UN to end the bloodshed. Can talks outpace the bombs? 🌐🕊️
