Report: Israel would settle for pushing Hezbollah a few kilometers away

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared stances about the distance that Hezbollah should move to away from Israel’s border are different than what is being said behind the scenes, an Israeli radio network said.

“During a session of the parliamentary foreign affairs and security committee, a senior political official arrived and admitted to the committee that Israel is talking about the Litani line in public, while in the contacts with the U.S. and French mediators it is clarifying that it would settle for pushing Hezbollah to the minimum needed distance, which is only a few kilometers,” the radio network said.

“The committee’s members were also informed that in such a situation, Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the region will not be evacuated,” the radio network added.
