Litani's Return in Israeli Debate
The article discusses Israel's military and political escalation in southern Lebanon, especially following statements by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanding the annexation of Lebanese territory up to the Litani River. These statements are political in nature, aimed at raising the stakes and reinforcing Israel's strategy of self-defense from beyond its borders. Analyses indicate that such remarks are not new but are part of an Israeli policy focused on consolidating the occupation of southern Lebanon and linking it to the disarmament of Hezbollah. This stance is accompanied by an escalation on the ground through airstrikes, explosions, missile launches, and tank movements. Sources confirm that there are potential developments toward military escalation in the region before the Israeli elections, as military operations continue on the ground, moving toward an indirect form of escalation designed to impose a security reality that serves Israel's interests. There is also a possibility of U.S. support if decisions are made similar to those taken over the Golan Heights.
