A new warning that if a war breaks out with Hezbollah, the Israeli army is capable of causing such destruction in Lebanon that it will take the neighboring country back “to the Stone Age”, addressed Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallad.
Speaking to journalists during his visit to Washington, Gallant insisted, however, that the Netanyahu government prefers to find a diplomatic solution to the Israeli-Lebanese border crisis.
Almost daily since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7, there have been hostilities between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, which supports the Palestinian Islamic movement.
Yoav Gallad also said that during the contacts he had with senior North American officials, proposals for the governance of post-war Gaza were discussed, stressing that it will be a “long and complicated process”.
