Israel's Netanyahu approves 'in principle' truce deal with Hezbollah: Report

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved "in principle" a ceasefire agreement with Lebanese group Hezbollah, but the Jewish nation has reservations over some details of the deal, which were expected to be transmitted to Lebanon on Monday, a source quoting CNN said.

The sticking points are still being negotiated and the agreement would not be considered final until all issues were resolved, multiple sources said. The Israeli cabinet should also approve the ceasefire agreement, once it is final.

"We are moving in the direction towards a deal, but there are still some issues to address," Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said, without elaborating.
