▪️Amichai Stein: "Russia will be involved in the settlement agreement between Israel and Lebanon

Apparently: Russia will have no role in what happens inside Lebanon

As part of the settlement: Russia will work with the Syrians to prevent arms smuggling to Hezbollah.

The Russians have expressed their agreement to act and pressure Assad that Iranian weapons will not pass through their territory

Let us emphasize: it is not that there are no doubts regarding Russia, and whether it will carry out what is assigned to it - but on the one hand Russia is interested in reducing Iranian influence in Syria, and in Assad remaining in power - and on the other hand, it is clear to Assad that Israel will act in Syria if the smuggling continues and as published by Roy Case he has already made it clear that there is a limit to what he is ready to do as part of the war."

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, in a briefing to the foreign press, stated: "Progress has been made in the negotiations for a ceasefire in Lebanon; however, the main challenge that remains is the enforcement of the agreements. The Russians in Syria can help stop the rearming of Hezbollah. Hezbollah's missile capabilities were severely damaged and mostly destroyed, but the war against the terrorist organization is not over."

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman: "Riyadh condemns the continuation of Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon, and opposes attacks on Iranian territory."

▪️Egyptian President al-Sisi at a summit in Riyadh: "We condemn the systematic killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip. The future of the region and the world is at a crossroads, and aggression against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon is no longer acceptable.

It must be implemented resolution 1701 in full and bring about a ceasefire in Lebanon"

▪️French Foreign Minister Barrow: The European Union may soon impose additional sanctions on violent Israeli settlers
