Israel Foreign Ministry:

The framework agreement signed by Israel, Lebanon and the United States is opening a path towards peace.

For years, the Iranian regime has held Lebanon hostage through its terrorist proxy, Hezbollah. This agreement gives Lebanon an opportunity to disarm Hezbollah and reclaim its sovereignty.

That is exactly why the Iranian regime and Hezbollah are trying so hard to derail it.

Leaders

Israel MFA: 'The Iranian regime, as always, is lying. Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, is the one that attacked Israel again this morning, completely unprovoked. Hezbollah constantly fires at Israeli civilians. Even after the ceasefire, Hezbollah has not stopped targeting Israelis. It was Hezbollah that launched an unprovoked attack on Israel in March, acting under the orders of its Iranian masters. Israel will not tolerate firing at its territory.'

Israeli Foreign Ministry:

A USAID Inspector General investigation confirms UNRWA staff involved with Hamas and the Oct. 7 massacre - including teachers and a social worker part of hostage-taking.

This isn’t a lapse. It’s a system that allowed terror to embed itself inside a “humanitarian” agency.

How long will the UN stay silent?

Operations

Israel's Navy detained approximately 175 activists from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla after intercepting 21 of its 58 vessels near Crete overnight. The remaining boats have been warned to change course.

Israel's Foreign Ministry posted video showing activists "enjoying themselves aboard Israeli vessels" and said they are being transported peacefully to Israel. The ministry also published footage of "condoms and drugs" found on one of the boats.

Israel Foreign Ministry:

Buying off the ICC Prosecutor.

Qatar launched an intelligence operation & promised to “look after” Karim Khan over targeting Israel. When the operation’s manager was asked if backing came from a sheikh or the state, he said: “the state.”

A crooked prosecutor. A corrupted court.

Israel Foreign Ministry:

Equating a sovereign UN member state with a jihadist terrorist organization is yet another proof of the UN Secretary-General’s failure.

The UN has failed to disarm Hezbollah and failed to uphold its own Security Council Resolution 1701.
Hezbollah is the enemy of both Israel and Lebanon, serving as the Iranian regime’s proxy to dominate Lebanon.

Antonio Guterres should stand firmly behind genuine Israel–Lebanon peace efforts, not offer excuses for Hezbollah.
