Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.

“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.

"I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end."

Then they'll do Syria, then Egypt with the Muslim brotherhood, then they'll attack Iraq, then they'll attack Saudi Arabia, and it'll continue on and on like this.

I'm curious who America will bend over backwards for in a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Right? I think that's when the US will eventually say stop.

But who knows.

What language was the announcement in?

Israel is very consistent in using the language for televised statements in the language of the intended audience.

When Israel states something in English, the intended audience is generally the US, not whom they are addressing.

"Free yourself from Hezbollah so that it's easier for us to roll in and take everything" is what he's actually saying.

They've already started advertising for new homes for Israeli's to purchase in Lebanon.
