It is the most likely candidate to have initiated the assassination of Hariri, and calls for the destruction of Israel and a Shia/Iran-led autocracy in the region.
More bad news for Israel.
Europeans will love it nevertheless: Hezbollah gained its current power status by democratic mechanisms (if ignoring the small nuisance of Hariri's assassination), so it all can't be so bad. :88) Some Eurocratic politicians - who by chance also hold a certain antisemitic position in opinion since long - indeed demand the recognition of Hamas and Hezbollah as acceptable political partners, demanding to no longer rate them as Islamic terror organisations.
Die dümmsten Kälber wählen sich ihre Metzger selber.
The next war for Israel is in the makling since longer time. It'a not a question of "if", but only "when". However, I fear the outcome of that is anything but certain. The Israeli defeat last time spoke volumes, the nimbus of being invincible is destroyed.
