Israel: Determined to Destroy Their Enemies

Wise decision.  But in the headline, the word "allies" should be in quotation marks. True allies would be helping Israel destroy Hamas and Hezbollah, rather than participating in Israel's suicide:

Israel rejects cease-fire proposal from US, allies

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a temporary cease-fire proposal with Hezbollah, offered by the U.S. and several allies this week, and vowed to continue fighting against the Lebanese militant group.

"A Thursday statement from Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister has “not even responded to” the proposal and that “the purported directive to ease up on the fighting in the north is the opposite of the truth.”

“The Prime Minister has directed the IDF to continue fighting with full force, according to the plan that was presented to him,” the statement reads, referring to the Israeli military. “The fighting in Gaza will also continue until all the objectives of the war have been achieved.”

"Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz also rejected a cease-fire in the north.

“There will be no ceasefire in the north,” he posted on the social platform X. “We will continue to fight against the terrorist organization Hezbollah with all our might until victory and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.”

"There was no immediate statement from Hezbollah or Lebanon’s government on the potential cease-fire agreement.

"The U.S. and French-led proposal, released Wednesday, called for a 21-day truce between Israel and Hezbollah, which are inching near a full-scale war after an intense exchange of strikes and rocket attacks in the past week.

"The proposal was signed by Australia, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar."
