Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz stated on Monday that the nation's ground forces are set to remain in territories they currently hold within Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.
Katz's statement suggests a prolonged presence in these areas, a move that could potentially complicate recent diplomatic efforts.
The announcement was made the day after a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran was reported. This MOU was said to be aimed at concluding the ongoing war in the Middle East.
