Smotrich Urges Israel to Annex Southern Lebanon Amid Escalating Tensions
مارس 25, 2026Israeli Minister Calls for ‘New Border’ in Lebanon
Bezalel Smotrich has sparked controversy after calling for the expansion of Israel’s borders into southern Lebanon.
In a speech, Smotrich said:
“The Litani River must become our new border with the State of Lebanon.”
He compared the proposal to buffer zones previously established in Gaza, suggesting a long-term military presence or control in the area.
The remarks are likely to intensify regional tensions, as any move toward annexation or occupation would mark a major escalation in the conflict.
