Amid 'Extended Stay' Israel Warns Ceasefire At Risk If Hezbollah Doesn’t Withdraw From South Lebanon

Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of severe consequences were Hezbollah not to withdraw beyond the Litani River during a visit to the North on Sunday.

"If Hezbollah does not withdraw beyond the Litani River, there will be no agreement — and Israel will act on its own to ensure the safe return of the northern residents to their homes," he noted.

This comes as the US envoy to the Middle East, Amos Hochstein, is set to visit the region and the upcoming completion of the 60-day period stipulated in the ceasefire signed in November between Israel and Lebanon.
