Defiant Netanyahu says Israel will ‘degrade’ Hezbollah in fight for life
New York | With his leadership strained by conflicts on two fronts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told world leaders at the United Nations that his nation will “continue degrading Hezbollah” until it achieves its goals along the Lebanon border.
The comments further dim hopes for an internationally backed ceasefire to halt the spiral into an all-out regional war. Mr Netanyahu also said his government would no longer tolerate daily rocket fire from the area.
