Middle East conflict in the news blog: Israel’s army rehearses deployment in Lebanon

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office denies a report consequently Benjamin Netanyahu gives the green light for a ceasefire with the Lebanese Hezbollah militia.

“The report of a ceasefire is false,” the statement said. “It is a US-French proposal to which the Prime Minister has not even reacted.”

The Israeli TV station N12, citing an unnamed Netanyahu employee, reported that a ceasefire should enable negotiations on a permanent agreement.

A report by the broadcaster that Netanyahu had instructed the army to reduce attacks in the northern neighboring country was “the opposite of the truth,” the office said. “The prime minister has instructed the army to continue the fight with full force.”
