Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly informed his cabinet ministers that the US wants Israel to withdraw troops from locations in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza, and told them that he will not agree to this demand, according to Channel 13.

Citing unnamed security sources familiar with the matter, Channel 13 reports that Washington is keen to see IDF troops making a “series of withdrawals” on the three fronts, but does not specify whether these would be partial or full withdrawals.

It says that Netanyahu informed ministers that he “intends to stand on my own two feet and resist.”

“I will tell them no,” he reportedly told his ministers.
