When asked about the maritime border agreement with Lebanon, Major General (Res.) Galant answered: "We surrendered to Hezbollah, this was literal extortion. The whole area looks at us and asks what the Israeli side does. This puts out something negative in the Middle East."

There is harsh criticism of the government's conduct regarding the issue. "It's problematic that they didn't bring the agreement to a vote in the Knesset or a public referendum as the law states. I think that this is undemocratic, irresponsible, and cowardly behavior on the part of Lapid and the Government."
