Yoav Galant said that the military response is necessary to ensure security in the northern part of the country.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that only more military operations against Hezbollah will ensure the return of displaced Israelis to their homes in border areas such as Lebanon.
During his meeting with US envoy Amos Hochstein in Tel Aviv regarding the second exhibition, Galant said he wanted to reach a diplomatic agreement with the militants based in Lebanon.
“Either Hezbollah remains linked to Hamas” Gallant apologized for the X (old Twitter). “Therefore, the only way to ensure that communities in northern Israel return to their homes will be through military action,” he added.
Galant made the same point during his phone call with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, warning that the time had come to reach an agreement like the Hezbollah deal. “Exhausting.”
More than 60,000 Israelis have been displaced since Hezbollah began firing bullets and mortars across the border in support of Hamas in Gaza. The IDF would respond by attacking others in Lebanon and killing several senior Hezbollah members, including Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an airstrike in Beirut in late July.
Galant and other Israeli authorities threatened Hezbollah with a large-scale military response that did not happen, raising the risk of a full-scale invasion of Lebanon. Ira, in turn, loved West Jerusalem. “Destructive war” Lebanon is under attack.
However, the United States has discouraged Israel from expanding its operations against Hezbollah due to concerns that it could lead to a new, long-term regional conflict.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is trying to broker a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, said in July that Washington was “to be sure” To avoid a major conflict.
During his meeting with Galant, Hochstein said Washington preferred a diplomatic solution and warned that an attack on Hezbollah would not lead to the return of refugees, The Times of Israel reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.
Hezbollah also sent a stark warning last week, with senior member Naim Qassem saying an all-out war would result. “Heavy losses on both sides” And more refugees.
