The storm of the agreement with Lebanon. At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, Lapid announced that the agreement with Lebanon was on the verge of being signed, and since then the winds have been stormy. Netanyahu claimed that the agreement would not be honored, and Smotrich also joined the opposition. Internal Security Minister Amr Bar-Lev harshly attacked Netanyahu for his words.
Bar-Lev: “We are not going to give up an inch of Israeli sovereignty”
“Netanyahu is behaving exactly like Nasrallah. What is Nasrallah doing inside Lebanon? He is attacking the Lebanese government which is supposedly giving up and the State of Israel is going to take over Lebanon’s gas deposits. Exactly the same, Netanyahu is doing here. He has no idea what is going on. The only thing he has an idea These are the years he was prime minister and nothing moved. That’s why I see it in a very, very serious way,” Bar-Lev wrote.

“It’s all politics to confuse the public and mislead them into insecurity. There is no doubt that Netanyahu is harming the security of the State of Israel with the irresponsible things he says. He is both ignorant of the details and misleading the public. We are not going to give up an inch of Israeli sovereignty. It is in our interest that Eventually, Lebanon will be able to sustain itself financially and people there will not starve for bread. We are protecting the security and economic interests of the State of Israel, unequivocally,” he concluded.
Netanyahu: “Lapid gives Hezbollah a sovereign territory of the State of Israel with a huge gas reservoir that belongs to the citizens of Israel”
As I recall, earlier today Netanyahu said: “Lapid shamefully surrendered to Nasrallah’s threats. He is giving Hezbollah a sovereign territory of the State of Israel with a huge gas reservoir that belongs to the citizens of Israel. He is doing it without a debate in the Knesset and without a referendum. Lapid has no mandate to hand over to an enemy state Sovereign territories and sovereign assets that belong to all of us. If this illegal hijacker passes, he will not oblige us.”
