Israel has distanced itself from a proposal made by the U.S. and France to halt the conflict with Hezbollah, instead opting to continue military operations in Lebanon. The proposal was made in response to the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah.
Live updates from The Washington Post reveal that Israel has rejected the proposal, choosing to press on with their military campaign in Lebanon. The decision comes as tensions in the region continue to rise, with reports of more clashes and rocket attacks on both sides.
The U.S. and France had suggested a ceasefire to stop the violence and prevent further escalation. However, Israel believes that a ceasefire would only benefit Hezbollah and allow them to regroup and rearm. The Israeli government has stated that they will not stop their operations until they have eliminated the threat posed by Hezbollah.
This latest development is likely to further exacerbate the already tense situation in the region. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has been ongoing for decades, with both sides refusing to back down. The recent escalation in violence has led to fears of a wider conflict breaking out in the Middle East.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is unclear how the international community will respond to Israel’s decision to reject the proposed ceasefire. The U.S. and France may face challenges in trying to broker a peace agreement between the two sides. In the meantime, the violence in the region shows no signs of abating.
