Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said he was opposed to agreeing to a "unilateral ceasefire" in Lebanon during a call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to a statement released by his office. The remarks came as French President Emmanuel Macron upped pressure on Israel to abide by UN decisions, telling his cabinet that "Mr Netanyahu must not forget that his country was created by a decision of the UN". Netanyahu on Tuesday later hit back at Macron’s comments, saying the country’s founding was achieved by the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, not a UN ruling.
