Foreign Minister Israel Katz has conveyed a message to over 25 of his counterparts that Israel will not agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon without a number of conditions, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
According to the outlet, countries that received the message include Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Canada.
Kan says that ministers involved in talks for a potential truce were also sent the same message.
Katz reportedly says that the only acceptable situation for a ceasefire would see Hezbollah pushed away from Israel’s border and remaining north of the Litani River, disarmed.
“Only the full implementation of all the resolutions of the UN Security Council regarding Lebanon will lead to a ceasefire,” Katz reportedly says. “For as long as this does not happen, Israel will continue its actions to ensure the security of its citizens, and the return of northern residents to their homes.”
