Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been accused of lying by multiple world leaders, including former President Obama and German Chancellor Merkel. Recently, tensions arose between Israel and the U.S. over a ceasefire proposal in Lebanon. Netanyahu denied having a private agreement with the U.S., which outraged the White House and caused confusion.
After a series of flip-flops, Netanyahu’s office finally acknowledged that Israel supported the ceasefire initiative, despite initially distancing themselves from it. The White House, however, was not convinced and criticized Netanyahu’s contradictory statements.
Behind the scenes, meetings between Israeli and U.S. officials took place to address the situation. Eventually, Netanyahu’s office released a statement supporting the U.S.-led ceasefire efforts, emphasizing the importance of stability and security in the region.
Although tensions remain, the U.S. is committed to the ceasefire proposal and will continue working on it. While the situation is still delicate, both countries are aiming for a peaceful resolution to avoid further conflict in the region.
