The Veterans' Forum (Forum HaGvura), on the backdrop of the signing of the agreement with Lebanon, released a video Saturday evening compiling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's past commitments to defeat Hezbollah and restore security to the north. The forum said it trusts IDF soldiers and expects that if the Lebanese army fails to neutralize Hezbollah within a set timeframe, the IDF will do so.
The Veterans' Forum released a video Saturday evening collating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's past statements vowing to defeat Hezbollah and restore security to northern Israel. The release comes as the government signs a security agreement with Lebanon.
The forum explicitly stated: "We ask to hear from the prime minister whether the new agreement answers the commitments given to the residents of the north. We trust IDF soldiers, and expect that if the Lebanese army fails to defeat Hezbollah within a set timeframe — the IDF will do so."
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, Netanyahu said the agreement represented a defeat for Iran and that the IDF would remain in southern Lebanon until the Hezbollah threat is removed. The forum's video appears to challenge that framing, questioning whether the deal fulfills the promises made during the war. No response from the Prime Minister's Office has been reported yet.
