Israeli general warns: If Hezbollah attacks, it will be a nasty war

Ben Caspit talks this week with Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Gershon, who was one of the only IDF generals to express support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s settlement-annexation plan. The latter was subsequently abandoned for the sake of the normalization agreement with the United Arab Emirates. The decorated general insists that while peace with Gulf states has huge potential for geo-strategic change, implementing Israeli sovereignty over West Bank settlements could secure the country’s future for a hundred years and more and guarantee that future generations of Israelis won’t need to deal with a hostile entity to the east.   Crickets as Netanyahu's annexation date comes and goes Netanyahu's annexation plan turning into fiasco Exposure of Israel-UAE ties changes Middle East substantively Netanyahu and Nasrallah at a standoff Israel, Hezbollah playing war game, but avoid real conflagration
