Netanyahu reportedly tells Trump Israel 'not bound' by Lebanon clause in Iran deal
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told U.S. President Donald Trump that Israel will not withdraw from its current positions in Lebanon and does not consider itself bound by the Lebanese clause in the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, Israeli media reported Monday.
During a phone conversation last night, Netanyahu informed Trump that Israel intends to continue its military operations against Hezbollah and will not accept any limitations on its freedom of action. According to reports, the prime minister received unanimous backing from his cabinet for this stance.
