NEW YORK — Israel “won’t go to a ceasefire now,” according to a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s entourage, amid an escalation with the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.
The subject did not come up in the cabinet meetings yesterday, the official says.
“We remain determined to return the residents [of the north] to their home safely,” says the official. “We are continuing the plan for the war that was approved by the prime minister.”
“If [Hezbollah chief Hassan] Nasrallah hasn’t understood the message until now, he’ll understand a different way,” says the official.
