The leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who had threatened to attack Israel in case of exploitation of the Karish gas field without a prior agreement, affirmed that the border treaty represents “a great victory” for Lebanon.

“All the exceptional and special mobilization measures carried out by the resistance for several months are declared over”Nasrallah said in a televised statement.

“Our mission is finished”, he stated, adding that the agreement “is not an international treaty and is not a recognition of Israel.”

On July 2, Israel shot down three drones launched by Hezbollah heading towards the Karish camp, which was partially claimed by Lebanon.

Nasrallah warned Israel not to draw on these reserves before a deal was struck.

This pact between the two countries, which are technically still at war, was praised by several world leaders, including the president of the United States, Joe Biden.

The agreement was signed separately this Thursday by the president of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, in Beirut and by the prime minister of Israel, Yair Lapid in Jerusalem and entered into force after an exchange of letters.

Lapid celebrated that the agreement implies that Lebanon de facto recognizes Israelbut Aoun responded by stating that the agreement is purely “technical”, without any “political dimension”.
