Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country is fighting on seven fronts. Jerusalem's opponents include Iran-backed Hezbollah in the north, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, "terrorists" in the West Bank, and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria.
The Israeli prime minister made the corresponding statement during a meeting of his cabinet on political security. He called all opponents of his state enemies of civilization, he informs UAINFO.org with reference to CNN.
"And we are fighting against Iran, which last week fired more than 200 ballistic missiles directly at Israel and which is behind this seven-front war against Israel," Netanyahu added.
The politician noted that he is fulfilling his promise to change the balance of power in the north between Israel and Lebanon. According to ACLED, an independent international organization that collects data on all conflicts and protests in the world, since October 8, 2023, Israel has carried out almost 9 attacks on Lebanon, and Hezbollah has carried out 000 attacks in the same period of time.
Speaking about Gaza, Netanyahu said that Israel has the right to defend itself and he will not forget the 101 hostages, "whom we are committed to bringing home with all our might." At least 7 people have been killed in Gaza since October 41 last year, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The Prime Minister of Israel called the calls of some world leaders, in particular French President Emmanuel Macron, for an embargo on the supply of weapons to Israel a "disgrace".
"Rest assured, Israel will fight to victory - for our sake and for peace and security around the world," Netanyahu added.
According to the Ministry of Health of Lebanon, more than 1 people died and almost 400 were injured in the last month as a result of Israeli strikes on the country.
