Netanyahu Says Reports of Imminent Ceasefire Are False, Denies Toning Down Lebanon Airstrikes
(Times of Israel) After media reports claimed a ceasefire in Lebanon was expected within hours, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Thursday that these reports are incorrect. "This is an American-French proposal that the prime minister hasn't even responded to." The statement also casts as "opposite from the truth" a report that Netanyahu has ordered the IDF to tone down strikes in Lebanon, saying he has empowered the army to keep striking with full force, adding that fighting in Gaza also will continue until all the war goals are reached.
