that the Israeli military will not withdraw from security zones in Lebanon, Syria, or Gaza, notwithstanding the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. Netanyahu communicated this position directly to Trump.

Katz indicated that these security zones will be evacuated of local residents and all terrorist infrastructure will be dismantled, including residences in villages along the contact line that functioned as forward positions for Hezbollah.

He characterized the control of these areas as one of the greatest achievements of the Israeli army in the conflict, asserting that Israel will not retreat despite existing pressures and those anticipated in the future. He further warned that should Iran attack Israel due to the situation in Lebanon, Israel will respond with its full force.

The agreement with Iran is bad for Israel and for the entire free world. Period. The joint campaign had many achievements in weakening Iran, and they will not go to waste.

We will have to continue the campaign to topple the regime ourselves and in creative ways, and ensure that Iran will never have nuclear weapons.
None of the candidates who see themselves as fit for the premiership would withstand even ten percent of the pressure currently being applied to the Israeli government, and especially to the one at its head.

In Lebanon, we will be tested.
This is our war, our fighters, and the immediate security of our northern residents.
I will continue to act so that we continue to stand firm on ours and allow the IDF full freedom of action to continue pushing Hezbollah away.

Trump's agreement does not bind us. Israel is not subject to the United States, and we are an independent and sovereign nation! 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 make it clear: Every launch of a drone, UAV, or missile toward Israel from Lebanon will lead to an Israeli strike in Dahiya. That was the deterrence balance just a few months ago, and we must not give it up in any way.
