For his part, Hezbollah’s number two, Naim Qassem, has assured that his group’s militia has no intention of increasing hostilities against Israel, but would be ready to fight if forced to do so.
The Minister of National Security, extreme right and settler Itamar Ben Gvirprompted the Israeli government on Tuesday to declare war on the Lebanese group Hezbollah, during a visit to the northern border, where fires broke out on Monday after the impact of rockets launched by the militia of this Shiite group from Lebanon.

In parallel, and prior to an interview with the Qatari channel Al Jazeera, Hezbollah’s number two, Naim Qassemtoday assured that his group’s militia has no intention of increasing hostilities against Israel but would be ready to fight if forced to do so.
On the other hand, Qassem has assured that the United States has no “serious” interest in ending the conflict in the Middle East and that the plan proposed Friday by President Joe Biden It has electoral purposes and lacks objectivity.
But the President of France, Emmanuel Macronhe reiterated today in a conversation with the Prime Minister of Israel: Benjamin Netanyahuits support for the ceasefire plan outlined by Biden, and has emphasized that this hypothetical agreement “should reopen a credible perspective to implement the two-state solution.”
For his part, Biden He expressed his views in an interview published by the magazine on Tuesday time who believes that Netanyahu is prolonging the offensive against Gaza for political reasons and wants to remain in power at the head of a complex governing coalition. “There’s every reason for people to draw that conclusion,” Biden said.
Not in vain, Netanyahu has faced pressure from the ultra-conservative wing of Israel’s governing coalition not to accept a ceasefire designed with the help of the United States.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army has carried out a… drone bombing of a school run by the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East (UNRWA) in the Bureij refugee camp, in the center of the Gaza Strip, on the pretext that the infrastructure hid a Hamas ‘compound’.
