Donald Trump announced that Hezbollah had agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire” and that Israel was calling off its planned strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut. In reality it is a quid pro quo: Israel will not strike Beirut and, in exchange, Hezbollah will not strike Israel proper. Meanwhile, the grinding war in southern Lebanon continues exactly as before, with ongoing IDF ground maneuvers and Hezbollah drone strikes. In short, it is a ceasefire for the cities and a continue-fire for the rest of southern Lebanon.

Here is the question everyone is asking: Is this good for Israel?

Also, is the opposition against the coalition, or just Netanyahu?

All answered in today's edition of It's Noon in Israel.
