  • The directive comes amid reports of a potential ceasefire extension between the U.S. and Iran, which may include measures to end the conflict with Hezbollah.
  • Netanyahu's statement raises questions about its potential impact on ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the Israeli military to escalate its offensive operations against the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The directive was announced by Netanyahu on Sunday, signaling a hardening stance amid ongoing regional tensions.

This move occurs as the United States and Iran are reportedly discussing a draft memorandum of understanding for a ceasefire extension. Sources suggest this potential agreement could also address ways to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Netanyahu's public order for increased military action raises significant questions about its potential influence on these delicate U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts.

The intensified attacks against Hezbollah could impact the trajectory of the indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran, potentially affecting the broader regional stability.
