Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich Reacts to US-Iran Agreement: Bad for Israel and the Free World

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich made statements on his social media account regarding the peace agreement reached between the US and Iran. Criticizing the agreement, Smotrich said, “The agreement with Iran is bad for Israel and the entire free world. Our joint struggle has had many successes in weakening Iran, and these will not go to waste. We will have to continue the fight to overthrow the regime on our own and in creative ways, ensuring that Iran never possesses a nuclear weapon. None of those who present themselves as candidates for the prime ministership could withstand even 10% of the pressure currently applied to the Israeli government and especially to the name at the head of the government (Benjamin Netanyahu).”

Continuing his statement, Smotrich also drew attention to the situation in Lebanon, sending a message that operations against Hezbollah will continue, saying, “We will be tested in Lebanon. This is our war, it is a matter of the urgent security of our soldiers and the residents living in the north. We must continue to stand firm in line with our objectives and ensure that the Israeli army has full freedom of movement to continue pushing Hezbollah away.”
