[Israeli Finance Minister Says Army Will Be Stationed Long-Term in Lebanon's Security Zone] Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich stated that the Israeli army will be stationed in the security zone within Lebanon for 'several years,' even if the United States demands a withdrawal. They will not withdraw unless Hezbollah completes disarmament. Smotrich said this position represents the joint stance of Netanyahu and the Defense Minister and confirmed that permanent military bases will be established in the security zone. Meanwhile, Iran stated that the Lebanon 'conflict de-escalation coordination mechanism' is the 'first major test' of the new agreement, and Iran will not implement the related roadmap until Israel fully withdraws.
