לקראת רומא: שר הביטחון כ"ץ הציב קו אדום ללבנון - עם איתות ברור לטראמפ

הערכה

Defense Minister Katz is preemptively hardening Israel's stance ahead of talks in Rome, attaching an indefinite military presence in southern Lebanon to the goal of Hezbollah disarmament. This directly counters the Lebanese demand for a withdrawal timeline, signaling that Israel will not yield on security conditions even under international pressure. The explicit message to the Trump administration suggests Jerusalem is bracing for diplomatic friction over the pace of its pullout and expects U.S. backing for its maximalist position.
