Netanyahu calls on UN chief to withdraw peacekeepers from Lebanon

 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has addressed UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres with a demand to immediately withdraw the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) peacekeepers from the combat zone near the Lebanon-Israel border.

"Mr. Secretary General, get the UNIFIL forces out of harm's way. It should be done right now, immediately," Netanyahu said in a video message released by the prime minister's office.

According to him, if the UN peacekeepers remain in their positions, they will become "hostages" of armed units of Lebanon’s Shia group Hezbollah, against whom the actions of Israeli troops are directed.
