Netanyahu vows to continue Iran campaign

Netanyahu vows to continue Iran campaign

Netanyahu's defiant stance comes as Israeli airstrikes continue to target Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, killing at least 13 state security officers in a single strike on Nabatieh.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Israel will not be bound by any agreement that fails to permanently dismantle Iran's proxy networks.

While he expressed a desire for a 'true peace pact' with Lebanon, he remains steadfast in his refusal to include Hezbollah in any ceasefire discussions.

This hardline approach has created significant friction with the Biden administration and the Vatican, both of whom are pushing for a broader regional de-escalation.
