Netanyahu: The ceasefire in Lebanon may be short-lived.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, speaking to Channel 14 in Israel, discussed the ceasefire reached in Lebanon with the mediation of the USA and France, as well as the possible prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement in Gaza, where attacks have been carried out since October 7.

"THE LEBANON CEASEFIRE MAY BE SHORT-LIVED"

Netanyahu suggested that the conditions in Lebanon are different from those in Gaza, claiming that Israel is trying to "eliminate" Hamas but also to prevent Hezbollah from rearming.

Stating that the ceasefire in Lebanon "may be short-lived," Netanyahu said he has instructed the Israeli army to prepare for "intense" attacks if Hezbollah violates the ceasefire.

CEASEFIRE STATEMENT IN GAZA

Netanyahu emphasized that he would not accept an agreement that includes the cessation of attacks on Gaza, but stated that they could "pause" the attacks.

Using the expression, "I am ready for a ceasefire in Gaza when we believe we can secure the release of the prisoners," Netanyahu claimed that the conditions for a prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas have significantly improved.
