Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, criticised the US-brokered Israel-Lebanon agreement as a 'serious mistake', saying it amounts to advisers dragging the prime minister into error and effectively accepting Hezbollah's presence. He warned Hezbollah will only grow stronger unless Israel learns to tell the US president 'no'. Ben-Gvir also claimed Hezbollah has not withdrawn south of the Litani River and questioned the Lebanese army's ability to implement the accord.
