From Defense chief says Lebanon deal must preserve Israel’s ability to watch, attack Hezbollah
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWith US special envoy Amos Hochstein set to arrive to push a proposed ceasefire in Lebanon, Defense Minister Israel Katz says Jerusalem will insist on carving out the ability to surveil Hezbollah and act against it in any possible deal.
“The condition for any political settlement in Lebanon is the preservation of the intelligence capability and the preservation of the [Israeli military’s] right to act and protect the citizens of Israel from Hezbollah,” he says.
It is not clear what role, if any, Katz will have in the ceasefire talks.
