Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

I want to tell you: there is no ceasefire in Lebanon. We continue to strike Hezbollah with force, and we will not stop until we restore your security.

After repeated requests from the Lebanese government to open negotiations for peace with us, I instructed the cabinet last night to begin direct negotiations with Lebanon.

I have already brought four peace agreements with Arab countries, and I intend to bring more.

True peace — peace through strength.
