Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected any ceasefire in Lebanon, stating Israel will continue attacking Hezbollah “with full force” despite ongoing US-Iran truce efforts. Fresh Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 300 people, intensifying fears of regional escalation. Israel argues its operations against Hezbollah are separate from the ceasefire framework, while critics warn this undermines diplomatic progress. The strikes have displaced thousands and worsened the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. The situation highlights growing tensions between military objectives and peace negotiations, raising concerns that continued violence could derail fragile efforts to stabilise the Middle East.
