Education Minister Yoav Kisch said the framework agreement with Lebanon harms Iran's intention to create a coupling with Hezbollah, according to a statement. His comment joins a series of Israeli official statements framing the deal as a strategic setback for Tehran.
Education Minister Yoav Kisch stated on Monday that the framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon harms Iran's intention to create a coupling with Hezbollah. The comment, reported by the minister's office, joins a series of Israeli official statements framing the deal as a strategic blow to Tehran and its regional proxy. Kisch's characterization follows a similar assessment by Minister Eli Cohen, who on Sunday called the agreement 'excellent for Israel and a very harsh blow to Hezbollah and Iran.' As The Zioneer has reported, Hezbollah has demanded the immediate scrapping of the deal, and internal Lebanese tensions have risen over the framework.
