以色列国防部长卡茨：与美国和黎巴嫩签署的协议是一个历史性事件，也是以色列重要的政治和安全成就。

Defense Minister Katz said a framework agreement with Lebanon could, for the first time in decades, create a new security reality on Israel’s northern border. He said Israel will maintain current deployments and continue to control the southern Lebanon “security zone,” including the Beaufort Heights. Katz said Israeli withdrawal is conditional on Hezbollah’s full disarmament across Lebanon and that he and Prime Minister Netanyahu have instructed the IDF to prepare for a long-term presence in the zone. He added Iran’s attempts to pressure the US to force an Israeli pullback have failed and warned Israel would respond forcefully if Iran attacks to block the deal’s implementation.

Deputy minister of the Central Social Work Department He Zhiliang is under disciplinary review and a supervisory investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission for suspected serious violations of discipline and law.
