Ben-Gvir Urges Netanyahu to Reject Lebanon Ceasefire

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has publicly urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reject a proposed ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, emphasizing the need for continued military action against Hezbollah. Ben-Gvir described the potential ceasefire as a "big mistake" and a "waste of a historic opportunity" to decisively weaken Hezbollah, which he claims is currently vulnerable. He stated, "It is not too late to stop this agreement," advocating for what he terms an "absolute victory" in the ongoing conflict.

Ben-Gvir's remarks come as reports suggest that a ceasefire agreement could be finalized in the coming days, following negotiations that have been ongoing amid rising tensions. Israeli military leaders have previously indicated that their objective is to weaken Hezbollah's capabilities rather than eliminate the group entirely. In contrast, Hezbollah's Secretary-General Naim Qassem has asserted the group's readiness to continue its military operations, noting a recent spike in their activities.

Netanyahu's Dilemma Amidst Internal Pressures

The situation is further complicated by Netanyahu's past decisions, including a missed opportunity for a prisoner exchange with Hamas, which was reportedly influenced by Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. This context highlights the internal pressures Netanyahu faces as he navigates the complexities of military strategy and political alliances within his government. As negotiations for a ceasefire continue, the Israeli leadership must balance the calls for military action with the potential for diplomatic resolutions.
