Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed at the cabinet meeting that "there will be no reconstruction in Gaza without dismantling and demilitarizing the Strip," amid reports that the "Peace Council" will advance reconstruction of areas controlled by the IDF even without disarming Hamas. Regarding Lebanon, he said: "I heard it was said in the media that President Trump asked not to act against terror tunnels in Lebanon. This is a legend, fake news. He didn't say anything to me about it, and I didn't ask him. We operate according to our considerations."
