Herzog responds to Hezbollah deputy chief: ‘I presume his day will come as well’
President Isaac Herzog reacts to Naim Qassem’s speech during which the Hezbollah deputy chief declared that the terror group had adopted “a new calculation” to inflict pain on Israel, even as he called for a ceasefire.
“I heard Naim Qassem’s speech — he is wrong just like his predecessors and those who came before them,” Herzog says while visiting the Haifa area and visiting hospitalized soldiers injured in Hezbollah’s drone strike.
“Not only is he wrong — I presume his day will come as well.”
“He’s not only wrong in his disrespect to the State of Israel and its citizens,” Herzog adds. “He is trying to make people forget the bitter truth — he and his friends have brought disaster upon Lebanon.”
