Today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to keep attacking Iran-backed

Lebanese Hezbollah with quote full force hours after the US, France and Middle Eastern

allies called on both sides to accept a three weeks ceasefire

proposal.

Nick Schifrin's been following all this and joins us now.

So Nick, what do we know about the proposal and how has Netanyahu responded?

The proposal is for a 21-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah.

What a senior administration official last night called a quote breakthrough. But as you said, Netanyahu landed in New York

this afternoon and said the military campaign would continue.

First and foremost, returning the residents of the north safely to their homes.

And indeed today Israel struck Beirut and said it killed the head of Hezbollah's drone unit.

Israel also released video of troops practicing for an invasion of Lebanon.

Now we asked John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman

whether Netanyahu has backtracked from his support and And he reiterated that Israel, quote,

was fully informed and aware of every word

of the ceasefire proposal before they released it

and the US would not have released it unless they understood that Israel

supported it. So Kirby did not say whether Netanyahu had backtracked, but we

obviously have a very different public and private message from Netn Yahoo.

And that is nothing new for Netn Yahoo, says Dan Biman of the Center for Strategic and International

Studies.
