Israeli politician and former army general Benny Gantz has welcomed the US-brokered Israel-Lebanon agreement saying it “could constitute a significant diplomatic breakthrough in the war against Hezbollah”.
“But this agreement will be tested in the reality on the ground,” Gantz said on X.
“And, therefore, the [Israeli army] must remain deployed within Lebanese territory until the full implementation of the agreement, and the state of Israel must respond aggressively to any violation by Hezbollah – even the smallest one.”
