Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing significant domestic and international criticism following a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire deal with Iran. Critics, including opposition leader Yair Lapid and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, accuse Netanyahu of presiding over a "political disaster" and failing to achieve war objectives, leaving Israel vulnerable to a "vengeful Iran." The international community, including Western countries, the EU, France, and the UK, is also voicing concern over ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which have resulted in numerous civilian casualties, including 130 children, and a humanitarian catastrophe. Despite the ceasefire, Israel insists the truce does not apply to Lebanon, citing the need to combat Hezbollah, an Iran-backed group, a stance that has drawn condemnation from European leaders who advocate for the ceasefire's inclusion of Lebanon.
