Kats to U.S. Counterpart: Israel Will Remain in Security Zones in Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz confirmed that Israel is determined to remain in the "security zones" in Syria, Gaza Strip, and Lebanon to protect its borders and neighboring towns. This comes amid ongoing military operations against what they described as "jihadist terrorist groups" in those areas. The statements were made during a phone call with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, during which they agreed to continue cooperation between the two countries to address potential developments. Katz emphasized that Israel's occupation of these areas aims to protect its residents from jihadist threats, and that Israel has not asked the United States to act on its behalf along the borders. His remarks referenced lessons learned from the recent October 2023 attack, which he attributed to the continued occupation for creating a security buffer. Katz reaffirmed Israel's commitment to defending its security without relying on U.S. forces along its borders.
