Smotrich Advocates for Litani Land Annexation
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's statements called for annexing parts of Lebanon up to the Litani River and into the Gaza Strip, in response to the October 2023 attacks and the multi-front war. The goal is to force the enemy to pay a price to deter the outbreak of a new war. These comments contradict Lebanon’s rejection of such annexations and the U.S. administration's plan, which calls for Israel to fully withdraw from those areas. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions, especially with the presence of a buffer zone along the Litani River following clashes with Hezbollah, and Israel’s call for operations in the West Bank similar to the war in Gaza.
