Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich rejected a proposal for a 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon and called for the “crushing” of Hezbollah, AFP reports.
“The campaign in the north should end with a single result: crushing Hezbollah and elimination of its ability to harm the residents of the north,” Smotrich said on social media platform X, adding that the ceasefire proposed by the US and its allies would give Hezbollah time to “reorganise”.
