Livni: Next war in north will be against Lebanon, not just Hezbollah
Zionist Union MK Tzipi Livni, who served as foreign minister during the 2006 Second Lebanon War, says the next war on Israel’s northern front will be against Lebanon — not merely the Hezbollah terrorist group.
“Today, Hezbollah is part of the Lebanese government and therefore, if we will be forced to fight, the next war will be against the state of Lebanon, which will bear the diplomatic responsibility for Hezbollah’s actions,” says Livni.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, Education Minister Naftali Bennett, and other coalition leaders have said there will be no distinction made between Hezbollah and Lebanon should another round of conflict break out in the north.
