JERUSALEM, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the ceasefire between the United States, Iran and Israel might end "within a very short period of time," Israeli media reported.

During a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu told ministers that the fragile two-week ceasefire "might reverse" very quickly.

A two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States took effect on Wednesday. Israel said it would abide by the truce but argued the agreement does not apply to Lebanon.

However, Israeli officials have said Israel wants to carry out further airstrikes on Iranian military and government targets. Netanyahu has faced growing criticism in Israel, with critics saying the war has not achieved its stated goals at the outset, including "regime change" and the elimination of Iran's ballistic missile stockpiles.
