Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address the media tonight at 20:45 Jerusalem time, following the recently announced framework agreement with Lebanon, according to a Prime Minister's Office announcement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a press conference tonight at 20:45 Jerusalem time, his office announced Saturday evening. The address comes days after the formal announcement of a framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon, brokered with the United States. The deal, which Prime Minister Netanyahu has described as 'a major blow to Iran,' maintains an IDF security zone in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed and establishes two pilot areas for Lebanese army deployment. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the framework 'the first and hardest step' toward peace. The press conference is expected to provide further details on the agreement's implementation and the government's next steps.
