Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that his government maintains independent authority over military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, regardless of ceasefire agreements. He told ministers that Israel determines its security actions without requiring external approval from other nations.
Netanyahu announced Israel will select which countries may contribute peacekeepers to Gaza. He rejected any forces his government considers inappropriate for deployment in the territory.
His comments followed multiple visits from senior White House representatives working to maintain the Gaza ceasefire. The diplomatic efforts occurred throughout the previous week as officials sought to stabilize the fragile agreement between the parties.
