Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said his army is "staying indefinitely" in a buffer zone they set up in Lebanon, with their deployment being "situation-dependent".
"There is a buffer zone [on the border with Lebanon]. It wasn’t easy but I stood my ground, and we received a green light from the United States, we gave them a map, and we are staying indefinitely. This is situation-dependent, not time-dependent," he said at a news conference, according to a statement from his office on Thursday.
