Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has stated that the proposed peace agreement between the United States and Iran will not restrict Israel’s military or security decisions.In a post shared on X, Ben Gvir said that Israel is a free and sovereign nation and will not be bound by any agreement negotiated by US President Donald Trump. He emphasized that the Israeli government has a responsibility to protect its citizens, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and Jewish people around the world.The minister said Israel’s historical duty is to provide safety and security for Jews who have faced persecution throughout history. He also claimed that previous compromises made under international pressure, including the Oslo Accords, the 2006 Lebanon agreement, and ceasefire deals involving Gaza, had come at a heavy cost to Israel.While expressing appreciation for the United States and President Trump, Ben Gvir stressed that Israel would continue to act independently when it comes to national security. He warned that any drone or missile launched from Lebanon toward Israel would receive an immediate military response.Ben Gvir further stated that Israel should not accept any agreement that does not guarantee its security. According to him, the country should continue efforts to eliminate Hezbollah and avoid returning to a situation where armed groups threaten communities along Israel’s northern border.He concluded by saying that Israel is a strong and independent nation with a long history and will not lower its guard against its enemies.Meanwhile, reports indicate that the conflict between the United States and Iran, which has continued for nearly three months, may be coming to an end. A peace agreement between the two sides has reportedly been finalized and is expected to be officially signed in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday. However, officials are yet to provide complete details of the proposed agreement.
