Benjamin Netanyahu’s rightwing and far-right coalition allies have voiced strong support for the country launching ground operations in southern Lebanon, shoring up a key constituency of his government as he seeks to trumpet his recent successes against Iran-backed Hezbollah.
“The decisions we made in the last few days are important, correct and necessary decisions,” wrote Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister and a key far-right member of Netanyahu’s cabinet.
