Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday threatened Hezbollah with an "intensive war" if the Lebanese militant group violates the newly established ceasefire.
"If necessary, I have instructed the Israeli army to wage an 'intensive war' in response to any violation," Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli broadcaster Channel 14.
Netanyahu also reaffirmed his commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. "I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state," he said. "I will use all available resources to stop it."
The Israeli Prime Minister suggested that he may agree to a ceasefire in Gaza, but emphasized that such a ceasefire would not signal the end of the war. He also noted that the recent assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and the separation of conflicts between Gaza and Lebanon have shifted the terms of prisoner exchange negotiations in Israel's favor.
