Today’s quote comes to us from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
After hezbollah attempted to assassinate him by bombing his home in Caesarea – and missed (he wasn’t there at the time anyway) – Netanyahu said this:
“The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake.
Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price.”
Would it be fair to say that if there were any chance, however small, that Israel would try to negotiate with hezbollah, or its supporter/trainer/financier, Iran, that chance is now gone?
I can only imagine what will come next. And I don’t think I’ll have to wait long before finding out if what I imagine is even close to what the actual price will be for this assassination attempt.
I award Benjamin Netanyahu Quote Of The Day honors for his warning of a heavy price to be paid – which, I suspect, will turn out to be a major understatement.
