“We are not partners to this agreement, which does not safeguard our security. We must not withdraw from any territory that our fighters have captured. ” Ben-Gvir said that while “we love the USA and are grateful to President Trump,” his country must “not compromise on anything less than the dismantling of Hezbollah.
