Israel says it's beginning to wind down operations in Gaza and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he could agree to a 'partial ceasefire'. However, he's warning that war with Hezbollah in Lebanon could be next.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the current phase of fighting against Hamas in Gaza is winding down.
And he says he's prepared for some kind of ceasefire agreement - but not at the expense of leaving Hamas alone.“No. I am not willing to stop the war and leave Hamas intact. I am prepared to make a partial deal - this is no secret - that will return to us some of the people, but we are committed to continuing the war after a pause, in order to complete the goal of eliminating Hamas. I'm not willing to give up on that.
Mr Blinken underscored the importance of avoiding further escalation of the conflict and reaching a diplomatic resolution that allows both Israeli and Lebanese families to return to their homes. Associated Press Jerusalem Bureau Chief Joe Federman says he expects Israel will soon be able to deploy more and more forces along its northern border to prepare for confrontation with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
The move comes after Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper claimed that Hezbollah has shipped an increasing number of packages containing missiles through the airport. Meanwhile, United Nations Director-General Antonio Guterres has accused Israel of spreading misinformation about the war in Gaza in an attempt to lower the organisation's credibility.
