Netanyahu claims Christians in Lebanon sought Israeli annexation

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed some Christian villages in southern Lebanon sought annexation by Israel for protection from Hezbollah, but the villages denied these reports, stating they lacked authority to make such decisions. Israeli forces have clashed with Hezbollah despite a US-brokered agreement, and Netanyahu reiterated Israel's military presence in southern Lebanon.
