President Isaac Herzog has concluded a two-day stay in bombarded northern Israel, accusing the world of not doing enough to deescalate the situation with Hezbollah.

“The international community should not be surprised if the situation gets out of control, because the international community is barely lifting a finger, barely doing anything to contribute to the full security of Israeli residents, after repeated violations of international treaties and agreements from Lebanon and from Hezbollah,” Herzog says, according to a statement from his office.

During his two days in the north, Herzog slept in Safed, visited an army base and several communities, and met with mayors of border towns that have been evacuated for almost nine months.
