[Israeli Media: Learned About Ceasefire with Lebanon from the Media, Israeli Officials Shocked and Angry] Golden Finance reported on April 17 that, according to Israeli media reports on the 16th, some members of Israel's Security Cabinet were shocked to learn from media reports that Israel had reached a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon. They expressed anger that the ceasefire was not formally approved by the Security Cabinet. Some Hebrew media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu urgently convened a phone meeting with Security Cabinet members that evening, with participating ministers receiving notice only five minutes before the meeting began. These Security Cabinet members learned from media reports that U.S. President Trump had just announced a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel. The report stated that Netanyahu told Security Cabinet members that he agreed to the ceasefire with Lebanon at Trump's request and emphasized that Israel chose to cooperate under close coordination with its "most important ally," the United States. Netanyahu refused to hold a formal vote on the ceasefire decision within the Security Cabinet but stated that the Security Cabinet would discuss related issues in follow-up meetings.
