Netanyahu on Israel troop withdrawal from Syria
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed U.S. President Donald Trump that the Israeli army would not withdraw from the buffer zone in Syria as long as the threat from jihadist groups remains there. This statement was made during their meeting in Washington, where Netanyahu emphasized that Israel will continue maintaining its presence in southern Syria to prevent weapons and military equipment from reaching the new forces in Damascus. Israel ultimately occupied the Golan Heights and carried out airstrikes to disrupt the capabilities of the Syrian army. Trump expressed concerns that the Israeli presence is fueling tensions and requested Netanyahu to begin withdrawing troops from Syria and Lebanon. However, Israel remains committed to maintaining its presence for security reasons.
