Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli forces will remain in southern Lebanon “as long as necessary”, while also vowing to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, AFP reports.
“We will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon for as long as necessary to protect the cherished residents of the north and all the citizens of Israel … Nothing will alter that commitment,” Netanyahu says.
“And with regard to Iran: whatever political developments may unfold, I will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. As long as I serve as prime minister of Israel, that will not happen. “
