Trump, now Netanyahu is a danger: Israel can blow up the US-Iran agreement

If Netanyahu increased the intensity of the raids, it could also compromise the relationship with Trump in an already complex phase. On Wednesday, in the conference held in Versailles at the end of the G7, the American president did not deny the friction with the Israeli prime minister: “There is a small dispute over Lebanon, Netanyahu does not need to demolish a building every time someone from Hezbollah enters it.” The intelligence report turns the spotlight on the elections scheduled for autumn in Israel: Netanyahu is ‘forced’ to maintain a massive military presence in Lebanon and to strike Hezbollah without interruption.

Because Netanyahu doesn’t stop

And that’s what will happen, says the New York Times based on other intelligence information. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will continue to pound southern Lebanon. The prime minister, according to the newspaper, is facing internal political pressure that demands he continue to strike Hezbollah to ensure the safety of communities living in northern Israel.

In the last few hours, at least 16 people have been killed in Lebanon and 12 injured due to Israeli air raids, according to what the Lebanese civil protection announced, referring to the attacks against the Nabatieh district, in the south of the country. Civil protection personnel transported “16 dead and 12 injured” to hospital, we read in a statement. Rescuers have been working “since the early hours of the morning” in the district in response to the “attacks targeting the area”.

“The continuation of Israel’s brutal attacks aims to hinder any solution that allows the restoration of stability in Lebanon,” is the position of the Lebanese army in a press release posted on

“Lebanon is not Israel’s enemy. The problem is Hezbollah, which repeatedly drags Lebanon into destruction, depriving the Lebanese of stability, security and prosperity,” says Colonel Ella Wawiya, spokeswoman for the IDF, in a post on ”A different future for the Lebanese is possible. A future based on stability, development and prosperity, rather than on the continuous spiral of clashes”, adds the Israeli colonel.
