Netanyahu-ism has achieved nothing for Israelis  and come at a monstrously high price | Jonathan Freedland
"Israel's assault on Hezbollah, launched in response to the missiles fired at northern Israel by the group, has not paused. On the contrary, on Wednesday, hours after Trump had hailed his breakthrough with Tehran, Israel unleashed one of the deadliest single bombing offensives ever inflicted on Lebanon, killing at least 303 people and wounding more than 1,150 others, many of them civilians."
"Netanyahu is trying to have it both ways, simultaneously bowing to pressure by agreeing to talks with the Lebanese government while vowing that the attacks on what Israel insists are Hezbollah launch sites will continue with full force."
Netanyahu's response to Trump's ceasefire announcement has been marked by continued military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Despite Trump's claims of a breakthrough with Iran, Israel launched a devastating bombing campaign, resulting in over 300 deaths and more than 1,150 injuries. Netanyahu faces pressure to engage in talks with the Lebanese government while simultaneously maintaining military operations. The situation highlights a disconnect between international perceptions of Netanyahu's actions and the domestic implications of his decisions during this conflict.
