Dan Gillerman: “We have no desire to enter Lebanon. We left it six years ago without any desire to go back.”

Israel will withdraw the minute there is a political solution and the minute there is a viable force in place.

We want to give peace a chance. We want to give the United Nations and the international community a chance to actually have their forces deployed.

Hezbollah is the proxy of and the hired killer of Iran and it is the Iranian influence, the poisonous and very brutal and dangerous influence of Tehran and Iran which must be brought to an end in Lebanon if we want to see a free Lebanon…

If that doesn't happen, then the whole purpose of what happened over the last few months and of the international community's resolve in reaching that resolution would be defeated.
