They authorise new land seizures and expand areas covered by earlier orders, citing military purposes, the commission said. The commission warned that the impact could extend beyond the land directly targeted, restricting Palestinian access to surrounding areas.

“A prime minister of bloodshed and crimes is in a state of total hysteria,” the Joint List said in a statement.

“There is no other explanation for his speech today, with its madness, incitement, racism and hatred.”

Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot denounced caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the newly sworn-in Knesset as “shameful” and “delusional,” warning that keeping him in office endangered Israel’s security.

The Yashar party leader, who has been tasked with forming the next government, accused Netanyahu of using the swearing-in ceremony of the 26th Knesset to sow division and hatred.

"The economic campaign (against Iran) is so devastating that right now there is no need for major combat operations," Rubio said after a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Paris. "That's what I told our allies here today."

There was a consensus among G7 foreign ministers on "the need to avoid a security void" in Lebanon after UN peacekeepers pull out, France's top envoy Jean-Noel Barrot said.

They also agreed "on the need to move quickly toward a new security architecture" after the mandate of United Nations peacekeeping forces in Israel's neighbour expires at the end of the year, he said.
