‘Crush, not anaesthetise’: Ben Gvir denounces Lebanon deal, seeks cabinet vote

‘Crush, not anaesthetise’: Ben Gvir denounces Lebanon deal, seeks cabinet vote Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has denounced the newly signed agreement with Lebanon as a grave mistake and said he has asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the deal to a vote in the Security Cabinet. Acknowledging that Israeli forces remain in most areas for now, he argued that the Lebanese state will not disarm Hezbollah and said he would continue to demand a cabinet vote on the agreement. In a separate post calling to crush, not to anaesthetise, the far-right minister said that Israel should pursue total military victory rather than rely on what he described as empty international promises. Agreements are only signed with those you've completely defeated. Against murderous terrorist organizations, you don't sign worthless papers—you achieve clear victory against them, he said. On 19 June, Ben Gvir's post was flagged by the X social media platform in which he called for all of Lebanon to “burn”. He has repeatedly called for Palestinians in Gaza to be annihilated.

Hezbollah chief accuses Lebanese government of 'legitimising' Israeli occupation with deal Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has urged the Lebanese government to abandon the Israel-Lebanon framework agreement signed in Washington, accusing it of legitimising Israeli occupation with the deal. Qassem said in a statement on Saturday that the deal was “null”, a “humiliation” and a surrender of sovereignty and affirmed that Hezbollah would continue to push for Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, adding that any attempt to link this requirement to demanding the group’s disarmament would cross “red lines”.
