The U.S. is pushing for a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that he is willing to agree to that on paper but will still “systematically carry out operations against Hezbollah’s attacks.”
That’s not really a ceasefire then, is it?
The Prime Minister said this: “We will not allow Hezbollah to return to the state it was in on October 6, 2023.”
Israel has been targeting civilian neighborhoods in Beirut, killing at least five today and injuring 24.
The attacks in Gaza have also stepped up with over 100 people killed over the weekend and another 76 on Monday, according to reports.
Over the weekend, the Pope published excerpts from his book calling for an investigation into Israel for its actions in Gaza, writing this: “We should investigate carefully to assess whether this fits into the technical definition (of genocide) formulated by international jurists and organisations.”
