Defense Minister Israel Katz met today (Monday) with the UN envoy to Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert.
The meeting was attended by other senior officials in the defense establishment and the IDF.
During the meeting, the Defense Minister emphasized that the Lebanese government must ensure that Hezbollah is disarmed, first south of the Litani River to the Yellow Line - and then throughout Lebanon.
Katz said: "Naim Kassem is playing with fire and Aon is gambling on the future of Lebanon. There will be no reality of a ceasefire in Lebanon along with firing on our forces and the Galilee settlements.".
Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Hezbollah for any violation, harm, or threat to our forces and Israeli communities.
""Naim Qassem is playing with fire - and the fire will burn Hezbollah and all of Lebanon, just like in the United Nations parable. If the Lebanese government continues to shelter under the shadow of the terrorist organization Hezbollah - a fire will come out and burn the cedars of Lebanon.".
""The Lebanese government must ensure that Hezbollah is disarmed first south of the Litani River to the Yellow Line, and after that throughout Lebanon. The IDF is prepared to act and assist in the mission.".
