Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a temporary cease-fire proposal with Hezbollah, offered by the U.S. and several allies this week, and vowed to continue fighting against the Lebanese militant group.
A Thursday statement from Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister has “not even responded to” the proposal and that “the purported directive to ease up on the fighting in the north is the opposite of the truth.”
“The Prime Minister has directed the IDF to continue fighting with full force, according to the plan that was presented to him,” the statement reads, referring to the Israeli military. “The fighting in Gaza will also continue until all the objectives of the war have been achieved.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also rejected a cease-fire in the north.
“There will be no ceasefire in the north,” he posted on the social platform X. “We will continue to fight against the terrorist organization Hezbollah with all our might until victory and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.”

Good!
Bibi just gave the Biden-Macron axis of evil the well deserved thick circumcised middle finger.
Northern Israel is under constant attack.
Many civilians there have been evacuated.
When, not if, Isael makes a push into Lebanon, it will be a much harder fight that Gaza. Unless the US gets involved, I don’t see them having strategic success
AMEN!!! AMEN!!! Love Bibi and his resolve!!!!
Israel should make it simple - we will cease-fire as soon as they do.
Also release the ‘hostages’ before we start
Ditto Good. Wipe the Animals out for good.
The US and Vichy France did not even propose a ceasefire with Hezbollah. They mentioned the “Lebanese government,” with whom Israel is not at war.
GOOD!!!
[snip] We see, therefore, that War is not merely a political act, but also a real political instrument, a continuation of political commerce, a carrying out of the same by other means. All beyond this which is strictly peculiar to War relates merely to the peculiar nature of the means which it uses. That the tendencies and views of policy shall not be incompatible with these means, the Art of War in general and the Commander in each particular case may demand, and this claim is truly not a trifling one. But however powerfully this may react on political views in particular cases, still it must always be regarded as only a modification of them; for the political view is the object, War is the means, and the means must always include the object in our conception.

Gaza , the war that must be ended at all costs - brought to you by the same people who brought you - Ukraine, the war that can never end regardless of the costs.
They cannot stop now. They were restrained for the last 18 years only to watch Hamas and Hezbullah build up a massive arsenal, tunnel networks, and attacking at whim. No country can live like that and under the threat of even greater consequence. This is the moment to reverse 20 years of mistaken policy by Israel and the west. If only the West would come to its senses. Let Israel clean up the mess and then, maybe, negotiate something reasonable. Maybe Lebanon can eventually assert its own sovereignty one day.
Iran needs a color revolution, too. But for now you deal with the problem on the road rather than worry about the problem down the road.
I tend to agree with you. The last time they invaded southern Lebanon, they got their butts handed to them. I trust they learned and are prepared to get it right this time. Just got back from Israel voluntering for the IDF. The fact they are still fighting in Gaza after a year and have lost less than 400 soldiers seems to show they are willing to take as long as needed to ensure success with the least loss of life as least loss as possible.
Dear branDUHn (b)administration and allies. Pound sand!
It is like asking for a cease fire in France on June 7, 1944. Our leaders and MSM are so evil.
Any foreigner who would even suggest a ceasefire begore the bloodthirsty, Satanic Hezballah Arab terrorists and their weapons arsenals are eliminated ——-is either seeking to have them murder more innocent Jews and Christians or else is a complete idiot
Such false “allies” are sheep in wolves’ clothing.
Israel wasn't "restrained", forced "to watch" Hamas build an arsenal and tunnels ---- Israel approved and facilitated the billion+ dollars payment for it. The last payment was carried by Mossad to Hamas in September 2023.
No it's not.
“ Unless the US gets involved, I don’t see them having strategic success.”
An old US Marine joke goes something like this: “They got us surrounded sir!” And the officer replies, “Those poor dumb bastards.”
