The Jerusalem Post reports: “The IDF must be free to act to end attacks by the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US special envoy Amos Hochstein, who visited Israel in hopes of securing a diplomatic resolution to the constrained war along the country’s northern border with Lebanon.
‘Israel appreciates and respects the support of the United States but in the end will do what is necessary to maintain its security and return the residents of the North to their homes safely,’ the Prime Minister’s Office said Monday as it paraphrased Netanyahu’s messages to Hochstein.
Netanyahu reiterated to Hochstein the same message he gave the government on Sunday. ‘It will not be possible to return our residents without a fundamental change in the security situation in the North,’ Netanyahu said…”
