No, I will not use nuclear weapons against Iran. We don't need to do that. We are the greatest nuclear power in the world.
Honestly, I do not trust anyone. In politics, I do not trust anyone.
They want my participation, that is true. I had a very good relationship with Netanyahu, and we achieved many successes together.
I will not use nuclear weapons against Iran; there is no need for that. The United States is the largest nuclear power in the world.
The more we understand it, the less optimistic we become. That is frustrating.
I think today, after all these years of investigation, I understand Lebanon much better.
How do we build a shared future without a shared past?
A serious incident
I am completely innocent. I am not guilty.
In light of the multiplicity of alerts on all fronts and the sensitivity of the stage, the chances of escalation have risen
Serious commitments from the Lebanese government regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah
It is something that should not be considered at all
The necessity of supporting diplomatic solutions as the best way to end the region's conflicts
"Don't try to play"!
This land holds the memories of my father and my family, and I am attached to it; it is hard to wait for permission to return to it, because any delay may cause me to lose this season
For me, the olive tree is like a human; the more we care for it, the more it gives us of its bounty
We don't know what will happen
These Italian machines can press 40 tons a day, but despite their size they are worthless without the farmer and the landowners. Therefore we decided, despite all the rising costs, to keep the price at $16 per tin of oil pressed, at a rate of one dollar per kilo. We also sell a tin of oil to whoever wants at $150, and 100 kilos of olives for $100 for whoever wants to watch the pressing before him.
For me the season has not begun. The olives are unripe and their yield ratio is bad, even though the crop season is good, but people rushed, so I decided to respond to them early.
We love olives and hate them. In its season it deprives us of many things and it is no longer profitable as it used to be with the high costs of caring for it, from pruning to plowing to picking, but emotionally the attachment to it is great. I do not remember in which year the first season was when my father took me with him to the harvest, but that happened in my childhood.
What is required is not a direct military confrontation, but gradual steps to dismantle the party's military and security structure.
The government cannot take a decision considering Hezbollah an illegal organization and then keep in the security agencies, the army, the judiciary, especially the military court, or in public administrations, people close to Hezbollah.
Abandoning diplomatic niceties and adopting a firmer language with the Lebanese state.
It is not nuclear at all; it is just a very huge bomb; like a mini nuclear bomb, but the mother of all bombs is one big bomb, and it is not nuclear.
I will not use nuclear weapons; we do not need that.
the necessity of supporting diplomatic solutions as the best way to put an end to the region's conflicts
The laws will be applied without any favoritism
There will be no leniency with the perpetrators
In light of the repeated warnings at all levels and the sensitivity of the current situation, the likelihood of escalation has increased
