Defense Minister Katz warns Eisenkot against denying Lebanon withdrawal stance

Defense Minister Katz issued a warning to Eisenkot, stating: "Eisenkot, who is prepared to immediately withdraw from the security zone in Lebanon that we established to protect the residents of northern Israel—and I suggest he not deny it, lest I be forced to provide proof—will not lecture me about responsibility or what real security means." The statement represents an escalation in tensions between the two officials over Israel's security policy in Lebanon.
