Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has rejected the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. He posted his criticism on Telegram Monday, arguing that Jerusalem isn't a signatory to the deal.
"Trump's agreement does not bind us; we are not party to this agreement," Ben Gvir said. According to him, the pact fails to guarantee Israeli security interests.
Ben Gvir demanded more aggressive action against militant groups. "We must not settle for anything less than the dismantling of Hezbollah," he noted.
President Donald Trump had announced the breakthrough deal earlier. He said it would end regional conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz for shipping.
Oil prices fell sharply following Trump's announcement. However, questions remain about Iran's nuclear program under the agreement.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed the memorandum is finalized. He made the statement during a televised interview with Tehran media.
The accord leaves nuclear negotiations for future talks. Both nations will reportedly continue discussions on that matter separately.
