Jerusalem, June 27 /Xin Hua/ — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Friday evening in a video message that the Israel Defense Forces will remain in the security zone maintained by it in southern Lebanon until the disarmament of the Hezbollah movement.
This statement was made shortly after Israel, Lebanon, and the United States signed a framework agreement in Washington, which was announced by U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio.
B. Netanyahu called the agreement a “major achievement” for Israel. It was signed following lengthy negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Washington.
According to the Prime Minister, the agreement became a serious blow to Iran, which, as he stated, tried to achieve the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
The state TV channel Kan TV News reported that the agreement involves the withdrawal of Israeli forces from two “pilot zones” in southern Lebanon, located on both sides of the Litani River.
After the withdrawal of Israeli troops from these areas, the forces of the Lebanese army, accompanied by American military personnel, will enter.
According to reports, the parties have also reached agreements on the issue of “Hezbollah” tunnels in southern Lebanon and countering the growing influence of the group, as well as negotiations on the maritime border between Israel and Lebanon. –0–
