Israel Has No Plans to Leave Gaza, Lebanon, or Syria
World
On April 16, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced that the country has no intention of withdrawing its military forces from Gaza, Lebanon, or Syria. According to him, the Israeli army will maintain a presence in these areas, serving as a buffer zone between militants and Israel.
After the Hamas attack in October 2023, Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Gaza. Currently, it controls about one-third of the territory, and many residents have been forced to flee their homes.
According to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, 70% of Gaza is closed to civilians. This has made it difficult to deliver humanitarian aid and has led to severe consequences. Israel has officially stated that it has stopped the delivery of aid to increase pressure on Hamas.
Families of hostages in Israel are unhappy with this policy. They believe the government is prioritizing control of land over rescuing people.
In Lebanon, Israel is holding five strategic positions near the border. Authorities say this is due to the threat from Hezbollah. The Lebanese government is demanding a full withdrawal of Israeli troops.
In Syria, Israeli forces have entered an area near the Golan Heights. Reports indicate that the area contains weapon depots used by Hamas and Hezbollah. While Israel initially described this as a temporary measure, it now seems the military intends to remain there.
