Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the army to continue fighting with “full force” and has not responded to a proposal from the United States, France and other countries for a ceasefire in Lebanon, his office said.
“The news about a ceasefire is not true. This is a Franco-American proposal, to which the prime minister has not even responded,” Netanyahu’s office said, according to the BBC.
“The reports about the directive to restrict forces in the north are not true,” Netanyahu’s office also noted, adding that the war in Gaza will continue until all of Israel’s goals are achieved.
“No” to a ceasefire from the Israeli Foreign Ministry
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, for his part, rejected proposals for a ceasefire in Lebanon.
“There will be no ceasefire in the north. We will continue to fight the terrorist organization Hezbollah with all our strength until victory and the safe return of the northern residents to their homes,” he announced on the X platform.
