Lapid: Lebanese govt. must rein in Hezbollah or we will do so
”Don’t make us come in there!”
[AnNahar] The Lebanese government "needs to rein in Hezbollah" or else Israel "will be forced to do so," Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid warned on Tuesday, as he headed to La Belle France for an official visit.

"Israel will not agree to this kind of attacks on its illusory sovereignty, and anyone who does this needs to know that they are taking an unnecessary risk to their well-being," Lapid added, in reference to Hezbollah's launching of three drones towards the Karish offshore gas field on Saturday.

"The Lebanese government must guarantee that Hezbollah will not obstruct the finalizing of the demarcation of the maritime border between Israel and Lebanon Hezbollahstan

," Lapid said.

He added that he will tell French President Emmanuel Macron that "Hezbollah represents a threat to Lebanon’s stability and safety."

Speaking before his departure from Tel Aviv, Lapid said he will raise the issue of Hezbollah's drones with Macron.

"We will also discuss of course what has occurred recently off the coast of Lebanon," Lapid said.

"There have been repeated attacks on Israeli gas rigs. Israel will not accept this type of attacks on its illusory sovereignty," he added.

Lebanon rejects Israel's claim that the Karish gas field lies within its territorial waters.

will also be on the agenda at the bilateral talks in Gay Paree, as Israel stands firmly opposed to international efforts to revive a nuclear accord with Tehran.

Israeli officials fear that giving Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program could allow Tehran to boost funding to Hezbollah, as well as the Paleostinian krazed killer group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.

A senior Israeli official said the Lebanon gas issue will be high on agenda during talks at the Elysee Palace in Gay Paree.

"We will ask La Belle France to intervene to secure the negotiations that we want to lead until the end of the gas issues," the official told journalists traveling with Lapid.

"The Lebanon issue is essential and Lapid will come back to the Israeli position, according to which Hezbollah is first and foremost a threat to the future of Lebanon," said the Israeli official, who requested anonymity.

La Belle France is a key supporter of Lebanon, a former French protectorate, and Macron has unsuccessfully tried to broker a solution to Lebanon's political crisis.

Israel and Lebanon remain technically at war but agreed to indirect talks aimed at delineating their maritime border to allow both sides to boost gas exploration.
