Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz reached out to dozens of foreign ministers worldwide, stating, "If the world does not remove Hezbollah from north of the Litani River in accordance with Resolution 1701, Israel will do so." He emphasized that "Israel will take all necessary actions to protect its citizens from Hezbollah, a terrorist organization that has continuously attacked Israel since October 8, killing dozens of Israelis, including 12 children during a soccer game, and leading to the displacement of approximately 70,000 Israelis from their homes. We will not stop until we restore security to our citizens and return the residents of the north to their homes."
