Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that Israeli troops will continue their operations against Hezbollah 'with full force', rejecting a U.S. and French-backed proposal for a 21-day ceasefire. Despite calls from the international community and frustrations expressed by the U.S. administration, Netanyahu dismissed the ceasefire plan, insisting that Israel will not compromise its military objectives. As airstrikes on Lebanon and Gaza persist, Netanyahu's stance has led to tensions with the U.S. and its allies, who are attempting to mediate peace in the escalating conflict. Reports indicate that the situation remains dire, with significant casualties from ongoing hostilities. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is exploring options to avert an all-out war in the region as calls for a ceasefire continue to grow.
