The Israeli cabinet has accepted the UN ceasefire. The report says that it was a stormy meeting.
The 24-0 vote, with one abstention, came a day after the Lebanese government approved the agreement and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave his grudging consent. The truce was to take effect Monday morning.
A heated debate erupted during the Cabinet session, with minister Ofir Pines-Paz criticizing the government's decision to order an expanded ground offensive in the days before the cease-fire is to take effect.
The ceasefire is supposed to go into effect around 7am Monday (local time).
