Netanyahu to warn Lebanon via Pompeo: Rein in Hezbollah or we’ll act

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to tell US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Brussels tonight that Lebanon must rein in the Hezbollah terror group or risk Israeli military action in Lebanon.

Netanyahu and Pompeo are slated to meet in Brussels soon. Netanyahu flew there earlier today. Pompeo is in the city for meetings with NATO allies.

According to Hadashot television news, Netanyahu’s warning to Lebanon mentions recent actions by Hezbollah that cross Israel’s red lines.

The prime minister may make a public statement about the issue, after the meeting with Pompeo, Hadashot reports.
