Israel is not looking to wage war with Hezbollah on its northern border, but is focused instead on battling Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said today during a meeting with French Head of State Emmanuel Macron.

“I want to make clear, we are not looking for a confrontation on our northern border or with anyone else … But if Hezbollah drags us into a war it should be clear that Lebanon will pay the price,” Herzog said.
