Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that discussions on ceasefire proposals for Lebanon will continue in the coming days. This comes as the United States warns that further escalation will make it harder for civilians on both sides to return home. Israel's foreign minister has rejected global calls for a ceasefire and airstrikes have killed hundreds in Lebanon, raising fears of a regional war. Hezbollah has fired rockets into Israel in response to the strikes. The conflict between Israeli forces and Hezbollah is their worst in over 18 years and is part of the regional spillover of the Gaza war.
