Herzog: ‘If Hezbollah drag us into war, Lebanon will pay the price’

During his conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, Israel’s President Isaac Herzog said that Israel is “not looking for a confrontation on our northern border,” and that “if Hezbollah will drag us into war, Lebanon will pay the price.”

Herzog also said that Iran is an “empire of evil,” which is backing Hezbollah and working to destabilise the region. “Hezbollah is playing with fire,” Herzog reiterated.

Meanwhile, Macron reaffirmed his support for Israel during the visit, saying that he will stand with Israel “today and tomorrow.”
