Israeli Defense Minister says that soldiers will remain indefinitely in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.

Jerusalem: IsraelThe Defense Minister said on Wednesday that soldiers will stay in the so -called security areas Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria, for indefinitely, comment that a ceasefire and hostage release with Hamas can make the conversation more complicated.
The Israeli forces have captured more than half of Gaza in a fresh campaign to put pressure on Hamas to leave the hostages after Israeli ended its ceasefire last month. Israel refused to withdraw from some areas in Lebanon after a ceasefire with the Hizbullah terrorist group last year, and seized a buffer zone in southern Syria after the President Bashar Asad was uprooted in December.
Defense Minister Israel Katj said in a statement, “Unlike the past, (Israel’s army) is not vacating areas that have been approved.” The army “will remain in security areas as a buffer between the enemy and (Israel) communities in any temporary or permanent position in Gaza – as in Lebanon and Syria.”
Palestinians and both see neighboring countries as the presence of Israeli soldiers Military business In violation of international law. Hamas has said that it will not release a full Israeli return from Gaza to dozens of remaining hostages without a permanent ceasefire.
The main organization representing the families of the hostages said in a statement, “They promised that the hostages come first.
“There is a solution that is desirable and possible, and it is the release of all the hostages simultaneously as part of an agreement, even at the cost of ending the war,” it said.
Israel says that it refers to Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack as security areas, control of it should be maintained by thousands of terrorists in southern Israel, with some 1,200 people killed, mostly civilians and 251 abducted from Gaza.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the aggressive Israel’s aggressive has killed more than 51,000 Palestinians, who do not say how many citizens or fighters were, but say that women and children make more than half of the dead. Israel says that it has killed some 20,000 terrorists, without providing evidence.
Israel’s bombing and ground operations have deserted the vast areas of the region and displaced about 90% of the population of about 2 million Palestinians. Many times have been displaced several times, and hundreds of thousands are inflated with decreasing food in squalid tent camps after sealing the area with all imports more than a month ago.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also vowed to end Hamas and return 59 hostages in Gaza – 24 of which are considered alive. He has said that Israel will then implement the proposal for rehabilitation of Gaza’s population in other countries of US President Donald Trump, which Netanyahu refers to as “voluntary migration”.
Palestinians and Arab countries have universally rejected Trump’s proposal, which human rights experts say that there will probably be a violation of international law. Palestinians in Gaza say they do not want to leave, and are afraid of another massive expulsion during the war during the creation of Israel in 1948.
The Trump administration, who took credit for helping the broker catching the captured ceasefire in January, has since expressed full support for Israel’s decision to end it and cut all humanitarian aid. Trump’s Middle East Envoy, Steve Witcoff, is trying to broker a new ceasefire agreement, which are more favorable for Israel, but those efforts have made very little progress.
Netanyahu controls the most nationalist and religious government in the history of Israel, and his coalition partners have called for the restoration of Jewish settlements in Gaza.
Israel withdrew his forces from Gaza and destroyed its settlements there in 2005, but it maintained control over Gaza’s land border, coastline and airspace, and joined Egypt in blockade in the region after seizing Hamas power in 2007.
Israel seized Gaza, Eastern Jerusalem and West Banks – the Palestinians for the future state – in the Middle East War of 1967. It also captured Golan Heights from Syria in that conflict and canceled it in a step recognized by any country except the United States.
