Israel’s UN Envoy: Hezbollah actions put UNIFIL at risk; we do not intend to remain in Lebanon

Israel’s representative to the United Nations said that Hezbollah has been positioning rocket launchers close to UNIFIL sites, adding that Israel is coordinating with the peacekeeping force to reduce the risk.

The envoy urged UNIFIL troops to remain in their protected positions to limit casualties, stressing that while Israel acknowledges statements issued by the Lebanese government and Hezbollah, they are insufficient.

“We cannot ignore the bigger picture, which is the actions of Hezbollah and the Lebanese government,” he said.

Addressing France’s envoy, Israel’s representative commented on Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, saying: “The guest is no longer a guest and behaves as if he owns the place. Your condemnation was delivered diplomatically.”

He also reiterated that Israel has no desire to remain in Lebanon.
