Israel rejects Gaza peace plan amid deadly Lebanon strikes and diplomatic hurdles

Israel rejects Gaza peace plan amid deadly Lebanon strikes and diplomatic hurdles

Deadly Israeli strikes hit southern Lebanon as Benjamin Netanyahu rejects a US-backed Gaza peace plan and Lebanese officials deny disarmament pacts.

Tensions across the Middle East escalated as Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least nine people, including women and children, marking a significant spike in violence since a fragile June truce with Hezbollah. The strikes occurred amid diplomatic friction, with Lebanese officials denying reports of an agreement regarding foreign troops overseeing Hezbollah’s disarmament.

Simultaneously, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected a United States-backed peace proposal for Gaza promoted by President Donald Trump. Netanyahu reiterated that no Palestinian state would be established under his leadership, demanding Hamas's total disarmament before any military withdrawal. Meanwhile, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked controversy by advocating for dozens of targeted killings nightly in the Palestinian enclave.
