IDF will remain in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza ‘indefinitely’, Israel’s defence minister says
Israeli newspaper Hareetz has quoted the country’s defence minister, Israel Katz, as having said that “the IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza – indefinitely – to defend the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements.”
Israel currently occupies swathes of southern Lebanon and Katz said that troops won’t withdraw from the land.
Despite launching the war on Iran alongside the US in late February, Israel was freezed out of the Pakistan-mediated negotiations over the peace deal – and many Israeli politicians and members of the public want the IDF to continue its war on Lebanon to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities further.
Of course they will, it was an invasion and they want to make not all Israel. They’ve been stealing lands since it’s foundation, do we really expect them to stop now?
