Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on the Lebanese people to join Israel’s fight against Hezbollah, saying their country had been taken “hostage” by the group, AFP reports.
“Israel is not at war with you. We are at war with Hezbollah, that has taken your country hostage … we yearn for peace with you, with Lebanon,” Netanyahu says in a video statement directed at the Lebanese people.
“Israel wants peace with you. Seize your future. Join Israel. Build safety and prosperity for all of our children. And once Hezbollah is dismantled, the possibilities are endless. And they are sky high.”
