Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told cabinet ministers he will reject U.S. Demands for a broad Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, Syria and Lebanon, according to reporting Sunday.
Netanyahu stated he had received the proposal from the United States and made his position clear to his ministers. "I plan to tell them no," He said, according to the report.
The comments reflect ongoing U.S. Pressure on Israel regarding its military presence in the three areas, where Israeli forces maintain security zones and positions following extended operations.
