After speaking with US President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu releases a statement in the middle of the night insisting that Israel will not be pressured into accepting a Palestinian state.
“My positions can be summarized in the following two sentences,” says Netanyahu in a tweet, “Israel categorical rejects international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. Such an arrangement will be reached only through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions.”
In addition, says the prime minister, “Israel will continue to oppose the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition in the wake of the October 7 massacre would give a huge reward to unprecedented terrorism and prevent any future peace settlement.”
The IDF says fighter jets carried out airstrikes against three buildings used by Hezbollah in the south Lebanon villages of Qantara, Yarine and Taybeh.
The IDF says another site belonging to the terror group in Labbouneh was also targeted.
The strikes come following rocket fire on northern Israel this evening, in attacks claimed by Hezbollah.
