Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to use “full force” against the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, dimming hopes for a possible cease-fire in the region. In a speech to Israel’s parliament, Netanyahu declared that Israel would retaliate with everything at its disposal if attacked by Hezbollah.
Tensions have been escalating between Israel and Hezbollah in recent weeks, with both sides exchanging fire along the border. Netanyahu’s statement comes after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned that his group would respond to any Israeli aggression towards Lebanon.
Netanyahu’s tough stance against Hezbollah has raised concerns about the possibility of a full-scale conflict erupting in the region. The Lebanese government has called for calm and urged both sides to exercise restraint to prevent further escalation of violence.
The United Nations and other world powers have also expressed concerns about the situation, calling for a de-escalation of tensions and a return to dialogue. The U.N. has warned that a new conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could have devastating consequences for the region.
Despite the growing tensions, some analysts believe that both Israel and Hezbollah may be reluctant to engage in a full-scale war due to the potential risks and costs involved. However, the situation remains volatile, and any miscalculation could lead to a dangerous escalation in hostilities.
In the meantime, the international community continues to monitor the situation closely and calls for a diplomatic solution to the conflict. Netanyahu’s hardline stance against Hezbollah signals a challenging road ahead for any potential peace negotiations.
