Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. President Donald Trump that Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon and does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause in the agreement with Iran. According to Israeli sources, Netanyahu clarified that the IDF will remain in its current positions in Lebanon and continue to operate to thwart the threat from Hezbollah, including destroying terror infrastructure and responding to any attack against Israel. The understanding among cabinet ministers is that Israel stands by its interests in Lebanon and Netanyahu received full backing at the cabinet meeting.
