NETANYAHU said that by signing an agreement with the US, the Lebanese government is effectively telling Iran and HEZBOLLAH to leave Lebanon and handing responsibility for the situation back to Beirut.

以色列總理內塔尼亞胡：在我領導的任何政府中，兩國方案將不可能實現。

NETANYAHU said at a March 27 press conference the framework agreement with Lebanon is a "historic achievement" that advances ending the bilateral conflict and could lead to a final peace. He said the deal is a major blow to Iran and Hezbollah. The agreement, he said, reflects US and Lebanese assent for Israel to retain a security zone inside Lebanon for a period "as needed" — until Hezbollah and other armed groups are disarmed and Lebanon no longer poses a threat to Israel. As a pilot to hand territory to the Lebanese army and remove Hezbollah control, Israel will withdraw from two small currently held areas: one entirely outside the security zone and one at its edge that Israeli forces no longer need. NETANYAHU said Israel effectively retains all security-zone depth required to defend its northern border.
