Israeli President speaks with British media channel about the recent developments between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, says there is a 'sense of disappointment' in Israel over recent actions by the UK government
Israel National News: Israeli President Isaac Herzog gave an interview Sunday morning with Trevor Phillips on Britain's Sky News channel in which he discussed the ongoing war and the recent escalation between Israel and the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon.
At the beginning of the interview, Herzog was asked about the danger that the conflict could further escalate into a full regional war and responded, "It is clearly a very dangerous situation and clearly has the potential of escalating dramatically, but we have to understand the situation prima facia, meaning, Hezbollah started this war. It started following the horrendous attack of Hamas on October 7th. Hezbollah, since then, has been bombarding us endlessly. Almost 100,000 Israelis have been evacuated from their homes. The entire north has been shuttered."
"We kept on being restrained and restrained and restrained, but something has to end. We have to bring our citizens back to their homes. That's the most natural obligation of any nation to its citizens," Herzog said.
