Israel Vows No Retreat from Controlled Territories Amidst US-Iran Talks

Israel. Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz on Monday publicly stated Israel's stance that it will not withdraw from lands currently under its control in Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip. This statement, coming amidst ongoing interim peace talks between the United States and Iran, signals that regional tensions remain high.

This is Israel's first official reaction, as negotiations are being prepared for the formal signing of the US-Iran agreement in Geneva on Friday. Pakistan has provided information about the meeting as a mediator.
