A far-right member of Israel’s governing coalition on Friday said that “all of Lebanon must burn,” as fighting broke out between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah despite a ceasefire imposed by the U.S. and Iran.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister and head of the far-right Jewish Power party, posted on the social platform X that Israel must respond with overwhelming force to the death of Israeli soldiers killed in fighting overnight. President Trump has publicly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise restraint even when retaliating against attacks from Hezbollah.
“With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit,” Ben-Gvir posted.
“All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes precedence over every other consideration,” he continued, using the abbreviation for the Israeli military.

Crudely put, Bibi and Likud has him by the balls. No other way to say it. How pathetic.

If he had any cojones, he’d tell Bibi that Ben-Gvir has to go and can fuck off.but of course, Bibi goaded him into this mess in the first place.

Oh well, keep it up fucktard. The price of crude will shoot back up to $100 and republicans will be fucked in November.
