You cannot leave this to fester in the cesspool of terrorism, neither for the sake of Lebanon nor for the sake of Israel or for the sake of civilization as we know it.
We will continue to seek them wherever they are. We will continue to try and make Israel safer and Lebanon freer.
Hezbollah must be disarmed and must be made incapable of ever again amassing this kind of arsenal and ever again attacking Israel or destabilizing Lebanon.
Well, our first priority is to bring our boys home and to stop the shelling of our cities. But as you said, it now goes far beyond that. The Hezbollah needs to be totally eliminated and incapable of doing what they're doing at the moment.
