Israel's Defense Minister Vows to Maintain Military Presence in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza Permanently

Israeli Defence Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir recently announced that the Israeli military will maintain its troops in the Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian Gaza Strip regions forever. This declaration has sparked international attention and controversy, particularly in the Middle East area.

The Israeli Defence Ministry is the department responsible for Israel's national defence, established at the time of its founding in 1948. The main task of this department is to protect Israel from internal and external military threats, with the Defence Minister as its political leader. The Israeli Defence Ministry oversees the majority of Israel's security forces, including the Israeli Defence Forces, the Israeli Military Industries Company and the Israeli Aerospace Industries Company. The Israeli Defence Forces are Israel's main military powers, responsible for protecting Israel's security and sovereignty.

Israel's relations with Lebanon, Syria and Palestine are complex and tense, particularly in the Gaza Strip. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has long been a major issue in the Middle East. Israel's blockade and military actions in the Gaza Strip have been a focus of controversy. Israel claims that its troops in Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip are there to protect Israel's security and prevent threats from terrorism, but Palestine and other Arab countries view this as an Israeli invasion.

Defence Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's declaration has sparked international attention and criticism, particularly in Arab countries and Europe. Many countries and organisations have urged Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip, respect the rights and sovereignty of the Palestinian people. Israel's declaration has also exacerbated the tense situation in the Middle East, potentially exacerbating Israel's conflicts with its neighbouring countries.

From Taiwan's perspective, while this event may not have a direct connection to Taiwan, it is of great importance for understanding the international situation and the complex situation in the Middle East. The conflicts and tense situations in the Middle East have long been a focus of international attention, particularly in terms of energy and security. As a globalised economy, Taiwan needs to pay attention to and understand the development of international situations to better cope with and handle international relations and economic cooperation. At the same time, Taiwan can also learn from the Middle East's experience in how to handle complex ethnic and religious relationships and how to maintain a country's security and sovereignty.
