Far-right Israeli minister says Lebanon cease-fire would be a 'big mistake'

Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Monday that a potential cease-fire agreement to end the fighting in Lebanon would be "a big mistake."

Ben-Gvir has previously pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reject any cease-fire deal in Gaza, where fighting continues with Hamas and other militant groups. "We must continue until the absolute victory," Ben-Gvir said of both the Gaza and Lebanon fronts.

Ending the war would be a "missed opportunity" to "eradicate Hezbollah," Ben-Gvir wrote on X
