Subject: Consul General Aviv Ezra: What is Happening in Israel right now
Happy Hanukkah. I just wanted to take this opportunity to draw your attention to what is happening in Israel right now in 3 short sentences:
1. Hezbollah is digging tunnels for terror purposes from Lebanon into Israel. This constitutes a severe attack on Israel's sovereignty and a further violation of UNSC Resolutions 1701 and 1559.
2. Israel is conducting defensive actions within its sovereign territory. Israel has the right to defend itself and is not interested in escalation.
3. Hezbollah acts as Iran's proxy in Lebanon, undermining regional stability. Hezbollah has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and other states.
Any public statement on your side would be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Aviv
