June 15, Kathmandu – Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has stated that his country is under no obligation to abide by the agreement between the United States and Iran. Commenting on the agreement brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump via the social media platform X, he said, “We are not bound by Trump’s agreement. Israel is not subordinate to America. We are an independent and sovereign nation.”
The Israeli government bears responsibility towards its citizens, the IDF soldiers, and the Jewish community, he emphasized. In his post, Ben-Gvir also clarified that Israel is not an “unstable country.” He further added, “We want to say that we love America and are grateful to President Trump. However, Israel is not a ‘banana state.'”
He mentioned that he has repeatedly conveyed this message to the Prime Minister and made it clear in critical forums as well. Known as a staunch right-wing leader, Ben-Gvir has also stated that Israel cannot agree to any arrangement unless Hezbollah is completely dismantled.
