Israel will not agree to cease hostilities against the Shiite militia Hezbollah in Lebanon for the sake of ending the US-Israeli war against Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with CBS News.

When asked if Israel would agree to cease hostilities against Hezbollah as part of a peace deal with Iran, Netanyahu replied “no.” However, he avoided the question of whether Israel would agree to cease fighting against Hezbollah if U.S. President Donald Trump demanded it.

At the same time, the Israeli prime minister expressed his belief that if Iran were to weaken significantly or undergo a radical change of power, this would mean the downfall of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemen's Houthi rebels from the Ansar Allah movement.
