Netanyahu commented on “Trump’s threat and deadline for hostages”

And he said Netanyahu In a short video in English during the cabinet session released by his cabinet: “I would like to thank the President Donald Trump “For his strong statement yesterday regarding the release of the hostages and the accountability of Hamas,” he said, noting that “this adds another strength to our ongoing efforts to free all hostages.”

Trump has promised “serious trouble” in the Middle East if hostages held in the Gaza Strip are not released before his inauguration on January 20.

On the other hand, Netanyahu said that the ceasefire in Lebanon “It’s not the end of the war” with Hezbollah.

He added at the Government session: “We are in a ceasefire, and that is not the end of the war, but that is to rebuild the population and rebuild the north.” We enforce this truce with an iron fist, and work against any violation, whether simple or serious.”

The Israeli prime minister continued: “There was a serious violation, and we responded by attacking more than 20 targets across Lebanon.” We are committed to the ceasefire, but we do not tolerate its violation by the other side.

He continued: “The situation will not return to what it was on October 6, 2023. The North will be peaceful and secure.”
