Defense Minister Israel Katz said that “the IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza \u2013 indefinitely \u2013 to defend the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements.”<\/p>\n

Ben-Gvir: ‘Trump’s agreement does not bind us. Israel is not a U.S. subject’ following Iran deal<\/a><\/h3>\n

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote on X that “Trump’s agreement does not bind us. Israel is not a U.S. subject,” in response to the memorandum of understanding reached between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n

“My position is clear: We are not partners to this agreement that does not ensure our security, and it does not bind us in any way. We must not compromise on anything less than the dismantling of Hezbollah, we must not withdraw from any territory that our fighters have captured and cleared of terror infrastructure, we must not return to a situation where thousands of terrorists sit on the fences of northern Israel’s communities, and certainly we must not remain silent for a moment in the face of fire directed at the State of Israel,” Ben-Gvir wrote.<\/p>\n

Ben-Gvir added that every drone or missile launched “toward Israel from Lebanon will lead to an Israeli strike in Dahiyeh.”<\/p>\n
