🇮🇱l🇱🇧How does Zionism view south Lebanon 1919: Chaim Weizmann: "the Litani was 'essential to the future of the Jewish national home'." 1941: Ben-Gurion & Moshe Dayan advocated Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon up to the Litani. 1948: During the war, Ben-Gurion thought the Litani should be Israel's northern border; Israel occupied Lebanese territory, withdrew to Ras al-Naqura line due to diplomatic pressure. 1950s: Prime Minister Moshe Sharett wrote in his diary that Moshe Dayan's plan for the control of the Litani River was to "'enter Lebanon … the territory south of the Litani will be annexed to Israel.'"
