Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared there is "no ceasefire in Lebanon" and pledged to continue military operations against Hezbollah. He announced the Cabinet will begin direct negotiations with Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah and pursue a historic peace agreement. The Israel Defence Forces have intensified strikes on Hezbollah launch sites. Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun emphasized that a ceasefire is the only viable solution, while the U.S. and Israel maintain that the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanon, complicating diplomatic efforts.
