addressed Netanyahu<\/a>, calling on him to present the “reality in the North” to US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n“Go to the US, take children from Kiryat Shmona and Metula with you. Tell Trump: ‘We love you, but we must respond [and strike] the weak points of Hezbollah terrorists in Dahiyeh,'” he said, referring to a Beirut suburb where the terror group is headquartered.<\/p>\n
“There needs to be a military maneuver. Even if there is a confrontation, he will get over it, and our soldiers are more important,” Ben-Gvir added.<\/p>\n
Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen (Likud) said that we need to “tell ourselves the truth,” adding that “a normal country would have smashed” Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
MK Ze’ev Elkin (New Hope-United Right) argued that Hezbollah “does not want a ceasefire. We can wait a little longer, but we need to respond.”<\/p>\n
National Missions Minister Orit Strock (Religious Zionism Party) called to “change the border – we need to move in that direction,” implying support for pushing deeper into Lebanon.<\/p>\n
Development of the Negev and Galilee and National Resilience Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf (Otzma Yehudit) noted that his son asked him about the ceasefire, and in response, he answered, “During a lunch break, you eat – during a ceasefire, you shoot.”<\/p>\n
“We cannot please the US. Time is not on our side,” Wasserlauf added.<\/p>\n
However, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich<\/a> presented a different position, arguing that “a ceasefire under these constraints would be a huge achievement.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netanyahu told those present that there is “no agreement at the moment, and therefore I am not bringing…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":845844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[372,26715,10321,69,4783,4784,99,16657,13192,50,173108,80721,345917],"class_list":["post-845843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-bezalel-smotrich","tag-ceasefire","tag-donald-trump","tag-hezbollah","tag-idf","tag-israel","tag-itamar-ben-gvir","tag-lebanon","tag-news","tag-orit-strock","tag-security-cabinet","tag-zeev-elkin"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116696867754024933","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=845843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/845844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=845843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=845843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=845843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
