Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that Israel and the United States share identical goals during the current temporary ceasefire, including dismantling Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities and reopening vital maritime routes. While monitoring diplomatic progress, Netanyahu warned that Israeli forces remain fully prepared for all scenarios should the wider conflict with Iran reignite. Concurrently, Israel is engaged in rare peace negotiations with Lebanon, which the Prime Minister stated aim to permanently neutralize Hezbollah and secure a ‘lasting peace’ through military strength. Despite these ongoing talks, fierce combat continues on the ground as Israeli forces systematically target southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil.
