Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the temporary ceasefire in Lebanon this afternoon (Friday), which was imposed on Israel by United States President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"They ask me," Netanyahu began, "'What did we do in the north?' and my answer is: We brought about tremendous achievements.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""There were two threats from Lebanon - a near threat and a distant threat: The near threat - the infiltration of thousands of terrorists into our territory and the firing of anti-tank missiles into our communities.
And the distant threat, which Nasrallah had been building for years - the firing of 150,000 missiles and rockets intended to destroy Israeli cities. We have removed both of these threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""Now look what we did: We created for the first time a deep security zone along the entire northern border. Not just in Lebanon; along the entire Lebanese border to Mount Hermon, through the Golan Heights to the Yarmouk. They wanted to surround us with a ring of fire, we created a security zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""This strip completely removes the imminent threat of invasion and anti-tank fire. The IDF sits there - on the yellow line - to continue to defend against the imminent threat.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""And as for the distant threat - we destroyed 90% of the missile and rocket depots that Nasrallah built. We eliminated Nasrallah himself. We stunned them with beepers. We eliminated thousands of terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""Today's Hezbollah is a shadow of itself compared to Nasrallah's glory days. But I say honestly: We haven't finished the job yet. There are things we plan to do against the remaining rocket threat and against the drone threat, and I won't go into detail.".<\/p>\n\n\n
\""But we also have another goal, which is the dismantling of Hezbollah. And so I tell you again honestly: It will not be achieved tomorrow. It requires continuous effort, patience and forbearance, and it requires informed navigation in the political field.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Netanyahu added: "At the request of my friend President Trump, with whom we changed the Middle East and brought about tremendous achievements, we agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon. At his request, we were given an opportunity to advance a combined political and military solution with the Lebanese government.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""And I remind you - for the first time in 43 years, representatives of the State of Israel are speaking directly with representatives of the State of Lebanon. The road to peace is still long, but we have begun it. One of our hands holds a weapon, the other hand reaches out for peace.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""One way or another, we will restore security to the residents of the north, and with God's help we will succeed.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9 \u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05d1\u05d4\u05e6\u05d4\u05e8\u05d4 \u05de\u05d9\u05d5\u05d7\u05d3\u05ea \u05dc\u05d0\u05d7\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e4\u05e1\u05e7\u05ea \u05d4\u05d0\u05e9: \"\u05d7\u05d9\u05d6\u05d1\u05d0\u05dc\u05dc\u05d4 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05e6\u05dc \u05e9\u05dc \u05e2\u05e6\u05de\u05d5 \u05dc\u05e2\u05d5\u05de\u05ea \u05d9\u05de\u05d9 \u05d4\u05e8\u05d4\u05d1 \u05e9\u05dc \u05e0\u05e1\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc\u05dc\u05d4. \u05d0\u05d1\u05dc \u05d0\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d0\u05d5\u05de\u05e8 \u05d1\u05d9\u05d5\u05e9\u05e8: \u05e2\u05d3\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05dc\u05d0 \u05e1\u05d9\u05d9\u05de\u05e0\u05d5 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05dc\u05d0\u05db\u05d4. \u05d9\u05e9 \u05d3\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d0\u05e0\u05d7\u05e0\u05d5 \u05de\u05ea\u05db\u05e0\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05e2\u05e9\u05d5\u05ea - \u05d5\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d0\u05e4\u05e8\u05d8\" \u2022 \"\u05dc\u05d1\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea \u05d9\u05d3\u05d9\u05d3\u05d9 \u05d8\u05e8\u05d0\u05de\u05e4, \u05e0\u05d9\u05ea\u05df \u05d4\u05d6\u05d3\u05de\u05e0\u05d5\u05ea \u05dc\u05e7\u05d3\u05dd \u05e4\u05ea\u05e8\u05d5\u05df \u05de\u05d3\u05d9\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d5\u05e6\u05d1\u05d0\u05d9 \u05de\u05e9\u05d5\u05dc\u05d1 \u05e2\u05dd \u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05ea \u05dc\u05d1\u05e0\u05d5\u05df\u05f4","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":1046410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[379,1288],"class_list":["post-1046409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24","tag-379","tag-1288"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
