Katz: 'We won’t agree to just any ceasefire, Hezbollah must withdraw beyond Litani River'
The United States is now seeking an enforcement mechanism that would ensure that the only armed body in that area would be the Lebanese Army.
Israel would reject any ceasefire that does not push Hezbollah back behind the Litani River, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday amid reports that such an agreement was near.
"We will not agree to just any cease-fires, we will not take our foot off the gas, and we will not accept any agreement that does not include the achievement of the war goals,” Katz said as he visited the Northern Command.
This includes “the disarmament of Hezbollah, its withdrawal beyond the Litani [River], and creating the conditions for the residents of the north to return to their homes in safety,” Katz said as he laid out Israel’s conditions for such a deal.
