Gantz Says Lebanese Government Giving Hezbollah Free Rein, Demands Forceful Action

Former Israeli Defense Minister and National Unity Party chairman, Benny Gantz, accused the Lebanese government of giving Hezbollah free rein, suggesting it was time for Israel to take decisive action.

"The Lebanese government is giving a free hand to Hezbollah," Gantz said. "It’s time to act forcefully against its assets."

The remarks come amid heightened tensions following a series of rocket attacks launched by Hezbollah on Israeli cities. According to the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to hold security consultations later this evening to discuss a potential resolution in Lebanon, citing informed sources.
