Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Netanyahu speaks with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regarding Israel’s operation to locate and destroy cross-border tunnels belonging to Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group.
A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office says Netanyahu told Guterres he views the tunnels as a blatant violation of Israeli sovereignty and a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
“The prime minister said this is an additional part of Iran’s aggression,” the statement says.
