NEW YORK – Standing in the rain after stepping off his plane at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel’s policy is clear: “We will keep striking Hezbollah with full force, and we won’t stop until we accomplish all of our goals — and first and foremost, returning the residents of the north safely to their homes.”
The assassination of the head of Hezbollah’s aerial force is part of that policy, he says.
Netanyahu and his wife Sara are met on the tarmac by Ambassador Michael Herzog, UN Ambassador Danny Danon, and New York Consul General Ofir Akunis.
