Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed reports of an imminent ceasefire in Lebanon, instructing the military to continue fighting vigorously. He rejected a ceasefire proposal by the US and France, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to defeating Hezbollah.
Netanyahu’s statement followed opposition from Israeli ministers to reports of US efforts for a ceasefire. Talks for a temporary truce with Hezbollah were cited as a key factor in his visit to the UN General Assembly in New York.
