Katz urges world to seek Hezbollah withdrawal to north of Litani
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has sent a letter to dozens of foreign ministers, calling on them to demand “an immediate cessation of Hezbollah’s attacks, its withdrawal to north of the Litani River, and its disarmament in accordance with U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701.”
“Israel is not interested in an all-out war,” he continues, “but the only way to prevent it is the immediate implementation of Resolution 1701.”
Katz also said that in the strike on Hezbollah top military head Fouad Shukur, Israel “sent a clear message: We will harm with great force whoever harms us.”
“Tens of thousands of Israeli residents who have been forced to leave their homes in northern Israel must return home safely,” Katz went on to say.
