Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday threatened the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to pay a heavy price if it allowed rockets to be fired at Israeli territory, referring to rocket attacks from Syrian territory towards the Golan Heights.
As he said in a televised speech, Tel Aviv is well prepared for the confrontation on all fronts.
In addition, the current prime minister criticized Israel’s previous government and said it made his country more vulnerable to attacks, criticizing his signing of an agreement with Hezbollah “at no cost”.
The leader of Israel’s far-right government also claimed that his country struck Gaza with 50 tons of explosives overnight, adding, “Israel will not allow Hamas to establish a presence in Lebanon.”
He explained that restoring Israel’s capacity for deterrence takes longer, adding, “But we will do it.”
Two days ago, rockets were fired from Lebanon at Israeli settlements in the north, which are claimed by a Palestinian armed group loyal to the Syrian regime and supporting an army called Liwa al-Quds. source, and in response he launched raids in Gaza and southern Lebanon.
Galant will remain despite the controversy
In another context, Israel’s prime minister backed away from firing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, saying he would remain in office “despite the controversy.”
He said “Yoav Gallant will remain defense minister” as security tensions escalate in the Palestinian territories.
On March 26, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Yoav Gallant from his post as Defense Minister because of his opposition to the judicial amendments, which caused a wave of anger in the country, in order to later withdraw this decision.
The sacked defense minister recently spoke out against Netanyahu’s controversial plan to change the Israeli judiciary. He had previously called for a suspension of the Judicial Amendment Act to allow dialogue with opponents, warning of “huge threats” from what he considered a “split” in the Israeli military.
