this is, as I said, not only the last chance for Lebanon, but the last opportunity for the international community to prove that that was not just a vote, but that is a real intention to make sure that Lebanon is free again and Israel is safe.

I think that there should be at least some mention of the true root cause for this horrible conflict, which is the fact that Hezbollah has taken Lebanon, including Tyre, hostage.
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.
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.
We believe we have the capability of making Hezbollah incapable of continuing its terrorist activities.
