Foreign Minister Israel Katz asserts that “there will be no ceasefire in the north,” after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied claims that a truce is in the cards.
“We will continue to fight the Hezbollah terror group with full force until victory and the return of residents of the north to their homes safely,” adds Katz, who is currently standing in for Netanyahu during the latter’s US trip but who doesn’t appear to have authority to make operational decisions on the prosecution of the war.
