Release Hostages from Gaza - Or We Invade Lebanon

MK Benny Gantz commented during his trip to Washington that if no deal is reached for the hostages, Israel should begin an open war in the north.

“The time for the north has come. We are late, I think we should make a deal to return the hostages even at a very painful price, but if we don’t reach a deal in at most a few weeks, we should go to war in the north and ensure that we can return the residents to their homes,” said Gantz.

He added, “We can reach this goal, even if it requires harming the state of Lebanon itself. I do not see any other way, unfortunately. Resolution 1701 was a resolution aimed at ending a war, and now we must arrive at a resolution from which onward we will act offensively proactively, against any deviation and against any threat to our borders, with emphasis on a threat of infiltration into our communities. I think we made a mistake by evacuating such a large population.”

Gantz also referred to the greater Iranian threat: “True, Hezbollah poses an operational threat, but one must remember the root of the problem – and that is Iran. Look at what is happening in Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon.”

“This is a global mission. If there is another nuclear deal on the table, it must not only be free of the loopholes of the previous one in the areas of enrichment and missile capabilities, but also include severe restrictions on the funding and operation of its proxies. Iran is a global challenge, regional and not just a problem for Israel,” he concluded. (INN / VFI News)

“Our Heavenly Father, we pray for successful negotiations that will ensure the return of all our remaining hostages alive. We pray in Yeshua’s name for peace with all our neighbors and for them to realize their faults, wickedness and turn to You with true sorrow and repentance. We pray that You protect us from everyone wishing harm upon us, and that You equip us with the means to defend our citizens and the land You have generously gifted to our ancestors.”
