Vice Prime Minister and Minister for Regional Development, Silvan Shalom, posted a video clip to his YouTube channel on Tuesday in which he addressed the dangers of the latest political developments in Lebanon.
“I think that the new development in Lebanon is very dangerous,” said Shalom. “For the first time, a terrorist organization is taking the lead of a country in the Middle East. But more than that: from now on they will control the army and all the security forces. That government will be authorized by the Iranian regime, and I think that brings instability to the Middle East and to the entire world.”
Shalom added that “Israel is watching the new developments in Lebanon,” but added that he does not think that Hizbullah will take any military actions against Israel at this time. “We all remember what happened in 2006 [during the Second Lebanon War]. A short time after the war ended, [Hizbullah leader] Nasrallah said very clearly: ‘If I had known what the Jews would do, I would have never started a war against Israel.’”
