Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that Israel’s truce with Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah, due to expire this weekend, will be extended.
“Since the ceasefire agreement has not yet been fully enforced by the State of Lebanon, the phased withdrawal process will continue, in full coordination with the United States,” according to a statement from Netanyahu’s office on Friday.
