Israel Says No Withdrawal from Lebanon, ‘Even if There’s an American Demand’
“Twenty thousand residents will not return,” Katz insisted, referring to the Lebanese civilians who were evacuated from the border area after Hezbollah once again attacked Israel in March.
“Because, what happened in past security zones, where there was also a civilian population, was roadside bombs and attacks against the soldiers, and therefore we will not allow that. We are not withdrawing,” Katz explained.
