Smotrich says Israel should annex the Yellow Line area and Lebanese territory

Single source · Gaza Strip, Palestinian territories (approximate) ·

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is reported to have said, in a podcast, that Israel should annex territory it occupies in Gaza, including the Yellow Line area, and Lebanese territory up to current front lines, going further if Hezbollah attacks again. Middle East Eye and an X roundup by @ME_Observer_ report the remarks, and only the roundup gives the figure of about 60% of the Strip.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
