Israel\u2019s far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, on\nMonday (15\/06\/2026) sharply condemned the latest peace agreement between\nthe United States and Iran, insisting that his country is not bound by\nthe deal because it does not guarantee the safety of Israeli\ncitizens.<\/p>\n
In a statement via his personal Telegram channel, Ben Gvir stressed\nthat Israel is not a party to the unilateral agreement initiated by the\nWhite House. This harsh response marks the first official reaction from\na senior official in the Tel Aviv government following the announcement\nof the historic ceasefire in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrump\u2019s deal does not bind us\u2026 we are not a party to this agreement.\nThe agreement does not protect our security,\u201d Ben Gvir asserted in his\nwritten statement, refusing to soften his stance towards Tehran.<\/p>\n
Ben Gvir also urged the Israeli military not to halt combat\noperations before the Hezbollah group in Lebanon is completely\ndismantled. He demanded that Israeli forces not retreat a single inch\nfrom territory that has been successfully captured and cleared of\nterrorist infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must not settle for anything less than the dissolution of\nHezbollah. We must not retreat from a single inch of territory that has\nbeen captured and cleared of terrorist infrastructure by our soldiers,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
The fierce internal Israeli criticism came just after Pakistani Prime\nMinister Shehbaz Sharif announced on Sunday evening that a peace deal\nbetween the US and Iran had been officially reached. Sharif explained\nthat the memorandum of understanding (MOU) includes the immediate\ncessation of military operations on all battlefronts, including Lebanese\nterritory.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that a Peace\nAgreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic\nof Iran has been REACHED,\u201d Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote\non his social media account.<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump also confirmed the compromise deal had been\nreached and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the naval blockade in\nGulf waters. Trump announced that the Strait of Hormuz has now been\nreopened without fees for all international commercial shipping traffic\nin order to restore global oil supplies.<\/p>\n
The ceremonial signing of the official peace document is scheduled to\ntake place in Switzerland on 19 June.
