Israel's defense minister has stated that Israel insists on the right to take military action against Hezbollah in any agreement to end the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. This demand may be viewed by Lebanon as an infringement on its sovereignty, complicating efforts to reach a resolution between the two parties.
The defense minister emphasized that the preservation of intelligence capabilities and the right of the Israeli military to protect its citizens from Hezbollah are crucial conditions for any political settlement in Lebanon.
