Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the cabinet during a Sunday evening meeting that the United States has presented a list of demands for a broad Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon fronts. According to the report, Netanyahu said he intends to oppose the plan, stating "I will tell them no." The remarks come amid sustained diplomatic pressure from Washington for a full multi-front ceasefire. As The Zioneer reported on June 18, President Trump demanded a total halt to hostilities across all fronts, including between Israel and Hezbollah. On June 15, Defence Minister Israel Katz said Netanyahu had directly communicated to Trump that Israel will not withdraw from security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The prime minister's latest statement reaffirms that position. The US administration's specific list of demands was not detailed in the report.
