Israel Katz Says Israel Will Not Withdraw From Lebanon Gaza or Syria
August 14, 2026
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that Israeli forces will remain in occupied “security zones” across Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria indefinitely stating that Israel will “under no circumstances” withdraw its military presence. His remarks, delivered during a tour of occupied villages in southern Lebanon, come despite existing framework agreements and international calls for a phased withdrawal. Katz instructed the IDF to prepare operationally for a long-term deployment across occupied territories in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria. he declaration directly undermines diplomatic frameworks negotiated with international oversight that called for progressive withdrawal. State Department officials pushed back, noting that a permanent military presence violates framework commitments and respects neither sovereignty nor long-term security. They called it a temporary buffer zone. They lied. It’s a permanent military occupation!
