TEL AVIV, June 27. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the framework agreement on Lebanon as "a blow to Iran" and noted that Israeli forces will not yet be withdrawn from southern Lebanon for security reasons, contrary to Tehran's demands.

According to him, "long negotiations have finally borne fruit." "The most important thing is that Israel remains in the security zone in southern Lebanon. This is a great success, and we will maintain it until Hezbollah is disarmed and there is a threat to Israel," the news agency Ynet quoted Netanyahu as saying.

"This is also a serious blow to Iran. In essence, Israel, Lebanon, and the United States are telling them: 'This is none of your business.' We are consistently maintaining the original security zone [in southern Lebanon] beyond the range of anti-tank missiles. In addition, of course, we are allowing the Lebanese army to begin preparations to establish control over the territory. We are establishing two pilot zones [in southern Lebanon], both at the recommendation of the Israeli Defense Forces," he emphasized.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors in Washington, Yechiel Leiter and Nada Hamadeh Moawad, announced the framework agreement reached between the parties after five rounds of negotiations on Friday. They noted that this document paves the way for peace after the conflict between Israel and the pro-Iranian Shia group Hezbollah.
