Netanyahu tells US envoys that Israel must enforce security in any Lebanon cease-fire deal.
Israel’s prime minister told top Biden administration officials on Thursday that the main points of any cease-fire agreement with Hezbollah must provide Israel the ability to counter security threats from Lebanon and return Israeli citizens to communities in the north of the country.
