Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that the proposed two-week ceasefire will not apply to Lebanon, signaling continued tensions along Israel’s northern front.

The statement comes amid ongoing regional and international efforts to contain escalating conflict, yet the exclusion of Lebanon raises serious concerns about the stability of the situation. By leaving the northern front outside the agreement, the risk of continued or renewed clashes remains high.

In response, Iran issued a direct warning, as reported by Israel’s Kan channel, stating that excluding Lebanon from any ceasefire deal would lead to renewed fighting. The warning highlights the fragile nature of current diplomatic efforts and the potential for broader escalation.

With multiple fronts active and interconnected, analysts caution that any partial ceasefire may struggle to hold, especially if key conflict zones like Lebanon remain outside its scope.
