The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has stated that there will be no ceasefire in Lebanon, indicating a continued escalation in the conflict. This stance is in contrast to Israel's apparent willingness to engage in diplomatic efforts to secure a truce.

UN Security Council
1. They urged all parties to take all measures to respect the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and premises. They recalled that peacekeepers must never be the target of an attack.
Jean-Noel Barrot
France Foreign Ministry
1. Today we hear in Israel voices calling for it to keep a capacity to strike at any moment or even enter Lebanon, as is the case with its neighbour Syria.
2. That is not compatible with the sovereignty of a strong country.
Israel Katz
Israel Foreign Ministry
1. There will be no ceasefire and there will be no respite [for Hezbollah] until the goals of the war are achieved.
2. Iran today is more exposed than ever to damage to its nuclear facilities. There is a possibility to achieve the most important goal, to thwart and remove the threat of annihilation from hanging over the State of Israel.
3. Terrorist infrastructure is collapsing in Beirut – we will continue to hurt Hezbollah everywhere.
4. We will not make any ceasefires, we will not take our foot off the pedal, and we will not allow any arrangement that does not include the achievement of the war's objectives – and above all Israel's right to enforce and act on its own against any terrorist activity.
Mohamad Afif
Hezbollah
1. So far, according to my information, nothing official has reached Lebanon or us in this regard.
2. I believe that we are still in the phase of testing the waters and presenting initial ideas and proactive discussions, but so far there is nothing actual yet.
Anthony Blinken
White House
1. We need to see real and extended pauses in large areas of Gaza, pauses in any fighting, any combat, so that the assistance can effectively get to people who need it.
Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum
1. The hostages have no time left -- a deal for their release is the only way to bring them all back to us.
Nicholas Blanford
Atlantic Council
1. It will be important from Hezbollah's perspective that it comes out of this with an agreement in which it doesn't look like Israel has won.
2. I don't think Hezbollah will soften their demands to achieve a ceasefire more quickly so that they can start to address the social welfare needs of their constituents.
Imad Salamey
1. With President Trump appointing hardliners [to his administration], Israel is receiving signals to intensify its approach.
