Israel to Maintain Presence in Territories Acquired in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza

15 Haziran 2026France 24
  • Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that Israeli ground forces will remain indefinitely in territories seized in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. This statement comes in the wake of a recent memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
  • Katz's declaration raises questions about the future of peace negotiations in the region.
  • The announcement follows a period of heightened military activity and diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The US and Iran's recent agreement was seen as a potential pathway to peace, but Israel's decision to maintain its military presence could undermine these efforts.
  • Katz's assertion highlights a significant shift in Israel's military strategy and raises concerns about the stability of the region. By committing to an indefinite presence in these contested areas, Israel appears to be directly challenging diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions.
