Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has sparked controversy with a recent statement suggesting it's time to distance himself from former US President Donald Trump's stance on Hezbollah. The far-right politician's comments come as Israel continues to face a growing threat from the Iranian-backed militant group in Lebanon. Ben-Gvir's stance appears to diverge from Trump's 2020 declaration that the US would not strike Hezbollah if Israel did not attack the group, potentially paving the way for increased military action against the organization. As tensions between Israel and Hezbollah escalate, Ben-Gvir's remarks have raised questions about the country's future military strategy and its relationship with the US.
Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir says 'time' to say 'no' to Trump and continue striking Hezbollah in Lebanon.
