Peace talks in Pakistan talks drag on for hours; Netanyahu vows ‘Israel will continue to fight’; Pope Leo demands end to war; US claims ships are entering Strait of Hormuz

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will continue to fight Iran despite the US’s participation in peace talks.

During a televised address, Netanyahu defended his war record and claimed the “campaign is not over yet,” telling citizens about Israel’s victories in Tehran.

“We crushed their nuclear program, we crushed their missiles and we crushed the regime,” he said, before claiming that Tehran was “begging for a ceasefire.”

“Israel under my leadership will continue to fight the Iranian terror regime and its allies, unlike Erdogan who met them and slaughtered his own Kurdish citizens,” Netanyahu added in a post on X.
