Netanyahu: US-Iran Ceasefire Excludes Lebanon Amid Conflict
Transcript
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the recent US-Iran ceasefire does not include Lebanon. He supports the US decision to pause attacks on Iran but insists Israel’s military actions in Lebanon will continue. In a statement, Netanyahu praised US President Donald Trump's efforts to neutralize threats from Iran. He made it clear that the two-week truce announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif does not apply to Israel's operations. Despite the ceasefire announcement, Israeli forces are still active, launching attacks in southern Lebanon, including the town of Srifa. The Lebanese army warns citizens to stay away from southern areas, emphasizing the dangers of returning home amid ongoing violence. Since March 2, more than 1,500 people have died in these conflicts, with over 1.2 million displaced. What's interesting is that Hezbollah has joined this multi-front conflict, which could give them more influence in future negotiations. The bottom line is that this situation impacts regional stability and could affect global security as tensions escalate.
