Israel says no ceasefire for Lebanon as talks are planned

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that any ceasefire agreement would not apply to Lebanon, and an Israeli official confirmed there would be no ceasefire ahead of planned talks. The official said a delegation led by Yair Leiter would handle the discussions.

Several countries reacted to recent Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Greece and Lebanon's Prime Minister called the strikes counterproductive, with Lebanon's leader saying he is working to secure an Israeli troop withdrawal. The United States reportedly urged Israel to agree to an immediate truce in Lebanon. Iran threatened Israel if attacks on Lebanon do not stop.

India, without naming Israel, expressed regret over civilian deaths in Lebanon. The overall situation indicates a move toward de-escalation through talks, despite the ongoing military actions and international pressure.
