Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has backed the United States’ decision to implement a temporary two-week ceasefire with Iran, aimed at easing rising regional tensions. The agreement is conditional on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and halting attacks on the US, Israel, and its allies. However, Netanyahu clarified that the ceasefire applies only to the Iran front and does not include Israel’s ongoing military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. This stance contradicts claims by some mediators that Lebanon was part of the deal, highlighting continuing instability and the risk of broader conflict in the Middle East. (PC: NDTV)
