Israel rejects ceasefire proposal and vows to continue fighting Hezbollah with full force
ai generated text
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports of an imminent ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, stating that his country's strikes will continue "with full force". Netanyahu has also rejected a proposed 21-day ceasefire, with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz specifically rejecting the proposal, stating "there will be no ceasefire in the north". Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has also rejected the ceasefire proposal, stating that it would give Hezbollah time to "reorganise".
The exchange of fire since Oct. 7, and in particular over the past two weeks, threatens a much broader conflict, and harm to civilians.
Around 700 UK troops will move to Cyprus in the coming hours.
We are preparing shoulder to shoulder with Northern Command for a ground maneuver. Prepared, if activated. This is a decision to be made above us.
We are attacking all day, both to prepare the ground for the possibility of your entry, but also to continue striking Hezbollah.
We are preparing the process of a manoeuver, which means your military boots... will enter enemy territory, penetrate villages that Hezbollah has transformed into military positions, equipped with underground infrastructure.
We are continuing our sequence of operations – eliminating Hezbollah terrorists, dismantling Hezbollah's offensive infrastructure and destroying rockets and missiles.
Our policy is clear: we're continuing to strike Hizbollah with all [our] strength, and we won't stop until we achieve all our objectives – first and foremost the return of the northern residents to their homes securely.
The news about a ceasefire is incorrect. This is an American-French proposal, to which the prime minister did not even respond.
We will use all means at our disposal, in accordance with international law, to achieve our aims.
If a temporary cease-fire becomes permanent, we will resign from the government.
