This dangerous situation illustrates why winning the global superintelligence race is a national security need, and why President Donald Trump's leadership in creating a superintelligence force is so important.

Hezbollah will receive a severe blow and will lose additional territory in southern Lebanon within the Nabatieh and Litani areas, which will become part of Israel's permanent security zone.. and the Israeli army is prepared to carry out this operation.
Even if Iran fires missiles at us, they will blame me.

This is what I want to tell you: there are warnings here, that is true. Our enemies are thinking of testing us these days before the elections. I warn them that we are prepared for any scenario, including what is called a reversal of the balance.
It is important, at this stage, to actively follow up on the ongoing discussions in the Security Council and to reach the best outcome for Lebanon and the prospects for achieving stability. I believe this issue will be among the fundamental matters raised in the Security Council discussions. I repeat that the options presented by the Secretary-General are still on the table. We are aware of Lebanon's position, including the content of the letter it sent to the United Nations, requesting an extension of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for a temporary period.
Our goal is to support efforts aimed at restoring stability to Lebanon and the region, and restoring full Lebanese sovereignty. We believe the United Nations is still capable of playing a role in this context. From this specific standpoint, the UN Secretary-General had presented to the Security Council a number of options regarding the possibility of continuing the UN presence after the end of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). These options were prepared based on what we heard from the Lebanese authorities.
The meeting comes at an important moment, as the situation on the ground in the south remains complex, with continued military activities and the population severely affected. As for the future of the UN presence, I believe the discussions in the Security Council will start now, and it is important, indeed necessary, that Lebanon's voice be heard on this matter, as it is the state directly concerned by this issue.

Israelis are a people with exceptional resilience. They do not look at it as "Oh my God, look at us, we are besieged." Rather, they say: "Okay, we are besieged. Okay, they are trying to kill us, but we are ready for them.. We will defend ourselves."
Our responsibility is to do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon
