As fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalates, National Unity chairman Benny Gantz declares his “full backing” for the government and security services’ efforts to return residents of the north to their homes and asserts that Israel “must act not only against Hezbollah, but also against the sovereign state of Lebanon, which bears responsibility for terrorism emanating from its territory.”
There are currently two ways for Israel to move forward, the former war cabinet minister declares, either by coming to an arrangement to halt Hezbollah’s fire on Israel or “continue the offensive, including entering on the ground if necessary.”
