Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu says the new maritime border deal with Lebanon is “a historic surrender” to Hezbollah.

“This is not a historic deal, this is a historic surrender,” he says in a statement. “A liquidation sale by Lapid.”

“For over a decade, the government I led did not bow to Nasrallah’s threats, and we did not have war. And then came Lapid. Within three months Lapid surrendered fully to all Hezbollah demands.”
