Yair Lapid, head of the Israeli party Yesh Atid, warned yesterday that the deteriorating situation on the Gaza front would lead to a new “confrontation”, QudsNet reported.
“The upcoming confrontation with Gaza is a matter of time, not more,” he said, noting that Hamas and Hezbollah are preparing for this “battle” .
“At the time we are sitting here, there are a 1,000 people digging tunnels in Gaza. Some of them crossed the underground border towards Israel.”
“In Lebanon,” Lapid claimed, “there are 100,000 rockets pointed towards us. When the war starts, the world will say: why? The world has to remember that Hamas and Hezbollah are the aggressors, not us.”
