Otza Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kroizer tells the Makor Rishon weekly that his far-right party might leave the government if Israel doesn’t launch an offensive against Hezbollah.
“If there is no campaign in the north, we will have to make a decision about remaining in the government. This government cannot continue to exist if a diplomatic agreement is made [to end tensions] in the north,” he says.
The comments echoed ones made by Otzma Yehudit chairman and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir who said during last night’s cabinet meeting that only a war against Hezbollah will restore security for Israel’s northern residents.
