There is no question of a truce until our objectives are achieved: this is what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on his arrival in New York, without however closing the door to a negotiated agreement.
“We will continue to strike Hezbollah,” added Benjamin Netanyahu, who is due to speak at the UN General Assembly on Friday, February 27.
An Israeli source, however, told CNN that the green light had been given to negotiate a halt to the fighting.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz, who is replacing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote very clearly on social media: “ There will be no ceasefire in the north. We will continue to fight the terrorist organization Hezbollah with all our strength until victory and the safe return of the northerners to their homes. “.
In any case, this hesitation waltz provokes the anger of the Israeli extreme right which directly threatens the Israeli Prime Minister. In the event of a truce, we will bring down the government, declared Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
