Netanyahu’s first reaction since US-Iran deal: ‘Israel troops to remain in Lebanon’

Israel is locked in high-stakes negotiations with the Trump administration over the future of southern Lebanon, as Jerusalem seeks to keep troops deployed in territory seized during its war against Hezbollah.

Israeli attacks and the destruction of villages have killed thousands and set off a displacement crisis.

Christiane Amanpour speaks to Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon to get his reaction on how the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the U.S. and Iran will affect Israel's interests in the region and whether it will change its strategy in Lebanon.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks, made the comments a day after the U.S. and Iran signed an interim pact that calls for parties to ensure "the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon."
