Lebanon’s caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said thag Israel had been the primary source of war threats since the Gaza conflict started, stressing his country’s desire for peace. “The threat of war is coming from the Israeli side … from day one of the war, they’ve been threatening,” he told The National. “Hezbollah is not threatening. The Lebanese government is not threatening,” he said. “A war with Lebanon is very dangerous to the Israelis and the Lebanese. It’s not going to be a picnic,” he added.
