politicsApr 8, 20264268

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the U.S. ceasefire and said Israel can resume strikes at any time. He said Israel still has objectives to pursue, and vowed its "finger is on the trigger". Israeli forces struck targets in Lebanon within hours, and Iran accused Israel of breaching the truce before closing the Strait of Hormuz. The stance raises the risk of a wider regional war, undermines U.S. diplomacy, and threatens global shipping and energy markets.
