Israeli politicians: US truce proposal will ensure 'next 7 October'

Israel’s Metula Regional Council chairman, David Azulai has said in comments reported by Israeli media that the US-French proposal for a 21-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah will ensure "the next 7 October," referring to the Hamas led attack on southern Israel last year.

Azulai urged that the Israeli government must "remove the threat" to avoid another "7 October next year".

Israeli media also reported that Amir Sofer, the Upper Galilee Regional Council’s chairman had said that “there is a time for negotiations, this is not the time”.
