Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed US President-elect Donald Trump in a call on Saturday night of his determination to act against Hezbollah and Iran. The two leaders also discussed the situation in Syria, as well as efforts to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.
We are committed to preventing Hezbollah from rearming, Netanyahu added in a video statement quoted by Times of Israel on Sunday. This is an ongoing test for Israel, we must meet it and we will meet it. I say to Hezbollah and Iran in no uncertain terms to prevent you from harming us, we will continue to act against you as much as necessary, in every arena and at all times.
Netanyahu called the conversation with Trump a very friendly, very warm, and very important conversation in the video statement quoted by Times of Israel.
