Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz said he told France’s Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, after her visit to Lebanon, that “Israel will not put up with the threat that Hezbollah poses to the residents of the north” of his country.
“The State of Lebanon is obligated to take responsibility for the terrorism that emanates from its territory. The interest in reaching a diplomatic solution in the border area is first of all the interest of Lebanon,” Gantz said on X.
“The State of Israel will do everything necessary to protect its citizens and allow them to return safely to their homes.”
