Israel agrees to ceasefire with Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Nov. 26 that he was ready to implement a ceasefire deal with Lebanon and would respond forcefully to any violation by Hezbollah, declaring Israel would retain “complete military freedom of action.” In a television address, Mr. Netanyahu said he would discuss the ceasefire accord with his full cabinet later in the evening. Israeli TV reported that the more restricted security cabinet had earlier approved the deal. The accord, clearing the way for an end to a conflict that has killed thousands of people, is expected to take effect Nov. 27.
