Israel's UN envoy says Israel has 'no desire to remain in Lebanon'

Israel's representative to the U.N. Security Council, Gilad Erdan, has said that Israel has "no desire to remain in Lebanon and the forces capable of doing so are the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL.”

"The people and government of Lebanon must seize the opportunity to control what is happening today in their country," Erdan added.

Erdan also stressed that "if Hezbollah wants a ceasefire, it must stop firing rockets and move north of the Litani," adding: "Hezbollah calls for a ceasefire while killing Israelis with its rockets."
