Former Israeli defense minister, Benny Gantz, said Tuesday that Israel would continue to “defend itself” against perceived security threats emanating from Lebanon.
In an interview with Al Arabiya English, Gantz said Israel would also respond forcefully to any future attacks from Iran, arguing that Tehran and Hezbollah were responsible for destabilizing the region.
Gantz also accused Iran of attempting to portray itself as Lebanon’s defender while contributing to the country’s troubles. “Iran is trying to play itself as the defender of Lebanon, but it’s the cause of ruining Lebanon.”
