Tel Aviv [Israel], June 30 (ANI/TPS): Prime Minister Netanyahu today (Tuesday) visited the security zone in southern Lebanon where he declared, "as long as Hezbollah, armed, is here, threatening us--we are staying here," and, "we are not leaving southern Lebanon until the threat is eliminated."

Netanyahu told the soldiers there that they have "done tremendous work" in Lebanon, and "the main thing we did--and this is what you are doing here--is creating buffer zones, security zones, not on our side of the border--on their side. So we are doing this in Lebanon. We did this in Gaza."

"These security zones--this is a conceptual change," he added. "It means that we do not allow a terrorist army to sit on our border. And we push them away--this is what you are doing." (ANI/TPS)
