[Israeli PM: Israeli Forces to Remain in Southern Lebanon 'Security Zone' Until Hezbollah Disarms] Golden Finance reports that on June 27, during the evening of the 26th local time, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a televised address announcing that representatives from Israel, Lebanon, and the United States signed a significant framework agreement earlier that day in Washington, D.C. He emphasized that until Hezbollah in Lebanon is fully disarmed and the security threat to Israel is eliminated, Israeli forces will maintain a long-term presence in the 'security zone' in southern Lebanon. In his speech, Netanyahu reiterated that the agreement is a major achievement for Israel, stating it "delivers a heavy blow to Iran." He noted that Iran had attempted to use force to compel Israeli troops to withdraw from southern Lebanon, but Israel and the United States have sent a clear message to Iran: Iran, Hezbollah, and any other armed organizations have no place in Lebanon's affairs.
