Lebanon, Katz: “We would not withdraw even in the face of an American request”

Rome, June 24 (LaPresse) – Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that “even in the event of an American request, the Israel Defense Forces will not withdraw from southern Lebanon”. Ynet reports it. “We will not leave the security zone in Syria and Lebanon. This is the security concept. The Israel Defense Forces must be on the enemy’s side and protect the settlements from within the area itself. Soldiers inside, residents outside. We will not withdraw,” he said.
