Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a series of contradictory statements regarding a proposed ceasefire in Lebanon, officially rejecting a US-backed plan while suggesting that Israel 'shares the aims' of the proposal. As the US, France, and other allies call for a 21-day ceasefire to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, Netanyahu has firmly stated that Israel will continue its military operations 'with full force,' showcasing a strong reluctance to pause attacks despite increasing international pressure. This rejection comes amid ongoing airstrikes in Lebanon and criticism from various Israeli political figures regarding the feasibility of any truce, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation in the already volatile region.
