▲ Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security
Although the war with Iran has effectively ended 106 days after it began following a cease-fire agreement between the United States and Iran, there is growing dissatisfaction and even signs of resistance within Israel, where some are unhappy with the terms of the deal.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Minister of National Security and a prominent far-right figure in the ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, strongly criticized the U.S.-Iran cease-fire agreement on June 15 (local time), asserting that Israel is not bound by the deal.
"Trump's (U.S. President) agreement does not bind us," Ben-Gvir wrote on his Telegram channel. "We are not a party to this agreement, and it does not guarantee our security."
This marks the first official reaction from a high-ranking official within the Israeli coalition government regarding the conclusion of the U.S.-Iran agreement.
Ben-Gvir further argued, "We must not compromise on any outcome other than the dismantling of Hezbollah," and emphasized, "We must not retreat a single inch from the territory our soldiers have captured and where they have cleared out terrorist infrastructure."
