Israel’s ambassador to the US says the country “remains committed” to the ceasefire with Lebanon, which it has routinely violated since it was brokered last month.

“If Hezbollah does not violate the agreement, it will be kept,” Yechiel Leiter said in a post on X.

“Under all circumstances, Israel retains its right to respond to attacks against it and to thwart threats to its territory, citizens and soldiers.”
