The southern suburb of Beirut will also be evacuated, and the 'terrorist' infrastructure there will be targeted, which will turn more than a million (Lebanese) into displaced persons

As the prime minister and I have made clear, we will not withdraw from the 'security zones.' If Hezbollah joins Iran in any attack on Israel, it will receive a severe blow and will lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in Nabatieh and the Litani (River), which will become part of Israel's permanent 'security zone,' and the Israeli army is prepared for that

In this sensitive period, we must maintain vigilance and readiness on all fronts, and preserve freedom of action to thwart threats quickly. We have activated the 98th Division in the West Bank area to reinforce security and stability in this region. The army is at high readiness to move to broad-scale offensive action against any party that tries to target Israeli citizens. In light of the many alerts on all fronts and the sensitivity of the current time, the chances of escalation are increasing.

We made a customary working visit to Minister Morcos to follow up on the public policy assessment report on combating fake news that we prepared last year and presented to President Joseph Aoun and Minister Morcos last June. We also discussed the media law after its approval, and we will accompany the ministry in the process of putting it into effect.

Just one year ago — and I say this with the utmost firmness — Iran was about to destroy us. We removed a threat that was facing the State of Israel, and this is the most important thing.
بنيامين نتنياهورئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي5 days ago · Anadolu Ajansı
We are prepared for all those scenarios. I hope we will not have to resort to them, but I can say one thing: Israel will not allow — and I will not allow — Iran to possess nuclear weapons, and as long as I serve as prime minister, Iran will not possess nuclear weapons.

If Iran makes that mistake and tries to attack us, it will face a response it cannot even imagine.

We proved, through a previous reply from the prime minister and the finance minister, that the funder did not request the cancellation, but rather asked for confirmation of Lebanon's desire to continue the projects, which led to the collapse of the government's draft.

As a continuation of the political misfortune, the government tried to pass a draft law in the joint committees to cancel 3 loans, including the Bisri Dam loan and others, on the pretext that the funding party no longer wished to do so.
