Moshe Davidovich, head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum, responded to the ceasefire with Lebanon, saying, "Agreements are signed with a tie in Washington, but the price is paid in blood, in destroyed homes and in dismantled communities here." He added: "A ceasefire that does not include lethal enforcement against Hezbollah for every violation and a security zone clear of terror up to the Litani is not a diplomatic achievement, it is a death sentence of waiting for the next massacre. The residents of the north are not extras in an international public relations show."
