The Israeli military will not withdraw from the so-called “buffer zones” in Lebanon and Syria, amid a shift in "Israel’s" security doctrine, which stipulates the expansion of these "buffer" areas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony for Israeli officers, Netanyahu declared that “there is no longer a policy of containment,” signaling a more assertive security stance.
