Times Of Israel: Gallant warns: If Hezbollah isn’t deterred, Israel can ‘copy-paste’ Gaza war to Beirut 

Amid US deescalation efforts, defense minister tells WSJ the fight against Hamas must serve to dissuade other Iran-backed proxies in the region from launching their own attacks 

Israel isn’t afraid to go to war with the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon if push comes to shove, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told the Wall Street Journal in an interview on Sunday. 

Defending the need for Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, Gallant explained that among other purposes, it will serve to warn Iran and its proxies away from launching similar attacks in the future.

I think it is now apparent the UN creation of Israel in 1948 was a huge mistake. The degree which the Islamic nations hate the Jews (and the Christians) was not fully understood. But where does that leave Israel and its Arab neighbors now? Nowhere good. The Arab nations won't rest until Israel is destroyed, and despite its modern armed forces, Israel is too small to resist a unified and determined attempt by the Arabs to restore Palestine "from the river to the sea". Ultimately Israel will need to use their tactual nuclear weapons to survive, and the end of mankind will not be far behind.

11:26 seems unaware of the history of Israel. The 6 nations (Arab) that attacked the new state of Israel are no longer willing to go to war with Israel. Jordan and Egypt in fact have treaties with Israel and Saudi Arabia on the verge too. While Arab nations may not like a non Muslim state in the area, they know it is there legally via UN. Israel's big enemy in the region is the non Arab Muslim nation Iran.
