An Israeli radio network reported that there is a discrepancy between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public stance on Hezbollah’s proximity to Israel’s border and the position discussed in private meetings. According to the network, in a session of the parliamentary foreign affairs and security committee, a high-ranking political figure acknowledged that while Israel publicly advocates for Hezbollah to be pushed back to the Litani line, in discussions with U.S. and French mediators, Israel has indicated it would be satisfied with moving Hezbollah only a minimal distance away, amounting to just a few kilometers.
The report also mentioned that the committee members were informed that under such an arrangement, Hezbollah’s existing infrastructure in the area would not be removed. This represents a more moderate position than the one Israel has been publicly expressing.
