Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has denounced the US-brokered agreement with Lebanon, saying the Lebanese government cannot be trusted to disarm Hezbollah, AFP reports.
“The agreement with Lebanon is a big mistake … Indeed, we are staying in most of the territory for now, but the state of Lebanon will not disarm Hezbollah,” he says on his Telegram channel.
“Members of the Lebanese government are Hezbollah ministers, and Lebanon cannot be trusted to take Hezbollah’s weapons … Only IDF soldiers will destroy Hezbollah, no other party will do it for us.”
