The Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given the green light to the 21-day temporary ceasefire proposal brought up by the US and France. "THE NEWS DOES NOT REFLECT THE TRUTH"Following the news from Channel 12 television, the Prime Minister's office announced that the ceasefire reports with Lebanon do not reflect the truth. The office stated that the news is false, saying, "The Prime Minister did not even respond to the proposal." Channel 12's report stating that Netanyahu ordered to ease airstrikes in Lebanon was also denied by the office. The Israeli government, composed of far-right coalition partners, has exhibited a similar stance whenever a ceasefire was approached in the Gaza Strip over the past year. NETANYAHU'S ORDER TO "CONTINUE THE ATTACKS"The Netanyahu government, which undermined the ceasefire by introducing new conditions, also ignored the almost daily protests of hostages' relatives. The official statement that "Netanyahu instructed the Israeli army to continue its attacks in the north with all its might according to the plans presented to him" is particularly noteworthy. KATZ: THERE WILL BE NO CEASEFIRE IN THE NORTHIsraeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also stated after Netanyahu, "There will be no ceasefire in the north." Israel's airstrikes targeting Lebanon have entered their fourth day, with over 650 people reported dead in the bombardment. Among the victims are dozens of children and women.
