De acordo com a declaração, divulgada à imprensa pelo gabinete de Israel Katz, ele conversou com o secretário de Guerra americano, Pete Hegseth, durante a noite e "ressaltou a determinação de Israel de permanecer nas zonas de segurança da Síria, Gaza e Líbano, com o objetivo de proteger as fronteiras de Israel e as comunidades próximas à fronteira contra as ameaças representadas pelas forças jihadistas". Pouco antes, os Estados Unidos haviam anunciado que as negociações entre Israel e Líbano, realizadas na terça e na quarta-feira em Roma foram "positivas" e que, "nos próximos dias", começaria a implementação das "zonas-piloto", das quais as tropas israelenses devem se retirar. "Nunca pedimos aos Estados Unidos que operem em nosso lugar ao longo de nossas fronteiras", acrescenta o comunicado de Katz. Israel divulga mapa com 'zona de segurança' no sul do Líbano, com 10 km de distância para a fronteira do país Forças de Defesa de Israel / Divulgação No Líbano e em Gaza, as forças israelenses estão presentes nos territórios e efetuam operações diárias contra o Hezbollah e o Hamas.

View from the other side: inside Argentina’s celebrations after semi-final win against England

Watching England lose is one thing. Watching them lose surrounded by millions celebrating Argentina’s march to another World Cup final, is completely different

Look, most people were awfully good about it. Our waiter at a restaurant near Plaza de Mayo shook our hands warmly and said nice things about Jude Bellingham. On the metro ride back from the fan zone there was no massive gloating either, just bright-eyed kids in Lionel Messi shirts swept along by the nationwide euphoria. “Vamos, vamos, Argentina,” they sang, barely able to believe their team were once again in a World Cup final.

To be a stray English bystander in a city totally awash in sky blue and white was a rare privilege. Some of us covering England’s rugby union tour have been lucky enough to visit a few memorable sporting cauldrons, but to be in Buenos Aires after Argentina defeated England at a football World Cup is right up there.
