Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told cabinet members he will reject US demands to withdraw troops from Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to reject demands from US President Donald Trump regarding military withdrawals, according to Israeli media reports cited by Turkish news outlets.

Speaking at a cabinet meeting before departing for Washington, Netanyahu addressed requests from the US administration for Israeli forces to pull back from occupied areas in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria. Addressing cabinet members, Netanyahu reportedly declared, "I will strongly oppose this and say no to them."

The decision signals potential diplomatic friction between Washington and Jerusalem ahead of high-level bilateral discussions on security and military strategy in the region.
