Israeli cabinet approves Lebanon ceasefire deal: Report

The Lebanese broadcaster Al-Jadeed has announced that Israel's cabinet has approved the ceasefire deal with Israel brokered by the US.

This comes after CBS News reported that the incoming administration of Donald Trump has also been briefed on the deal, and sees it as a positive agreement. 

The news comes just ahead of what is typically the biggest holiday in the US: Thanksgiving. This time last year, a short-lived ceasefire in Gaza was secured just hours before the event.
