'Israel won't leave', says Netanyahu as he visits occupied southern Lebanon

Israeli pime minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday visited Lebanese territory occupied by the Israeli military and told soldiers that Israel would not withdraw from the country's south ‌as long as Iran-backed Hezbollah continued to pose a threat.

It was the first visit by Netanyahu to occupied Lebanese territory since the Israeli and Lebanese governments reached a security agreement last Friday, mediated by the US, under which Israel will hand over two areas to Lebanon's army.

"Our insistence is that we will not leave southern Lebanon until the threat is removed," Netanyahu told troops, according to a statement released by his office, referring to Hezbollah.

"And as long as Hezbollah remains here, armed and threatening ⁠us, we will remain here as well," he said.

And exactly how far away would the current residents of Gaza be displaced such that they would not be or become a militaristic threat to the proposed new construction.

Just guessing, on the coast of Chile or Peru (?)...

Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud previously told Al Jazeera that Somaliland had accepted Israel’s three conditions – the resettlement of Palestinians, establishment of a military base on the coast of the Gulf of Aden and joining the Abraham Accords to normalise ties with Israel.

A break-away region of Somalia not recognized by any country in the world - except, recently, by the country of Israel.

It's the new Madagascar.
