🇮🇱 Israel's Ben-Gvir says Trump's deal does not bind Israel, and he is drawing a hard line on Beirut.
"Israel is not subject to the United States, and we are an independent and sovereign nation. We love the USA and are grateful to President Trump.
And yet, the State of Israel is not a banana republic.
We are not partners to this agreement that does not ensure our security, and it does not bind us in any way."
He warns that any drone or missile fired at Israel from Lebanon will mean an Israeli strike on Dahiya, the same deterrence he says held just months ago.
Hard to keep a region quiet when Netanyahu's own cabinet won't play along.
