Israel will remain in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria indefinitely, defense minister says
SHARE

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has announced that Israeli forces will maintain a presence in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria to establish security zones along the borders. This decision comes as a strategic move to defend Israel against threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Syrian government.

Katz emphasized the importance of the Israel Defense Forces remaining in these territories indefinitely to act as a buffer between the enemy forces and Israeli communities. He stated that unlike in the past, the IDF will not be evacuating areas that have been cleared and seized, indicating a long-term commitment to securing these regions.

The decision to maintain Israeli forces in these territories is expected to complicate cease-fire negotiations with Hamas. The militant group is currently discussing a proposal to release 10 hostages in exchange for a temporary truce but has made it clear that the remaining 59 hostages will not be released without a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a permanent peace agreement.

Israel’s rejection of these terms has drawn criticism from the families of the hostages, who have expressed disappointment in the prioritization of territorial control over the release of their loved ones. The families have called for a comprehensive agreement that includes the release of all hostages as part of a larger peace deal.

Furthermore, the presence of Israeli forces in Lebanon and Syria has also sparked tensions with Hezbollah and the new Syrian leadership. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has voiced concerns over Israel’s refusal to withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon, hindering the deployment of the Lebanese army along the border as per the cease-fire agreement.

In Syria, Israel’s advancements beyond the Golan Heights buffer zone established after the 1973 war have raised tensions with the new government following Assad’s ouster. Israeli officials have defended their actions as necessary for national security, citing conflicts with Syrian forces and airstrikes on military bases.

However, Palestinians and officials from neighboring countries have condemned Israel’s occupation in these territories as a violation of international law. The ongoing presence of Israeli forces in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria continues to be a point of contention in the region.

In conclusion, the decision to maintain security zones in these territories reflects Israel’s commitment to defending its borders against threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria. However, the prolonged presence of Israeli forces has sparked criticism and condemnation from various parties, highlighting the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region.
