Netanyahu: Israeli Army Hasn’t Withdrawn from Any Inch of “Yellow Zone” in South Lebanon

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in a press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (not seen) in occupied Al-Quds (December 7, 2025).

The Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that, contrary to what is being circulated by mass media, the occupation forces have not withdrawn from the original “yellow zone” in Lebanon by even a millimeter.

The “yellow zone” is a term used by the enemy authorities and refers to the area controlled by the Zionist occupation forces in South Lebanon.

Netanyahu added, “Regarding the two pilot zones: in one of them, we didn’t have a single soldier, so we didn’t withdraw from a place where we were never present.”

“In the second zone, north of the Litani River, we were not present in most of it at all, and in the remaining part, we temporarily controlled territory outside the original yellow line. Therefore, we are maintaining the original security zone and have not moved out from it.”
