DOMINANT ANGLE
Jerusalem exploits US-Iran ceasefire to intensify war against Hezbollah in Lebanon without ceasefire coverage
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Jerusalem maintains war posture even under ceasefire. The Jerusalem Post reports Benjamin Netanyahu stating Israel was not surprised by Trump announcement — a defensive declaration suggesting the opposite. Netanyahu keeps "finger on trigger" and warns the Jewish state is ready to resume operations against Iran anytime. This bellicose rhetoric serves dual purpose: reassuring public bruised by Iranian strikes on Israeli territory and maintaining pressure on Tehran during negotiation window. Fact that Israel intensified bombing on Beirut within hours of ceasefire announcement — documented by Egyptian Streets and Le Monde — reveals deliberate strategy: exploit bilateral truce to settle accounts with Hezbollah in Lebanon, a conflict the ceasefire does not cover. Netanyahu explicitly links Lebanon ceasefire as condition to truce sustainability with Iran, creating communicating vessels system where each theater conditions the other.
