Israel maintains a military presence in Southern Lebanon to ensure a buffer zone between Hezbollah and Israeli civilians.
Amir Ohana said the Iranian regime “must go, and by God they will go.”
Aryeh Lightstone, the U.S. president’s pick for implementing his 20-point plan for the Strip, said the area’s situation was gradually improving.
The mediating parties stated that both sides agreed “upon a roadmap towards reaching a final deal within 60 days.”
The conflict with Iranian-backed Hezbollah should be resolved through direct talks between Jerusalem and Beirut, “and not by Iranian extortion,” said the Israeli president.
The Israeli defense minister said that the Beaufort position is vital to protecting northern communities and IDF troops, reiterating his stance against any pullout.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon, JNS Editor-In-Chief Jonathan S. Tobin, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s adviseer Caroline Glick and leading voices in diplomacy, technology, national security, law, media and faith headline the summit’s second day in Jerusalem.
