Netanyahu Claims Lebanese Citizens Want Israel to Annex Their Territory
Mario Nawfal Interviews
How the CIA Actually Manipulates the President - w/ Fmr. CIA Larry Johnson
What was said
"Lebanon would like to free itself of these terrorists who are, you know, making their life miserable. And it's not only the Christians in Lebanon who ask for our protection. It's the Drews, it's Muslims, the uh Sunni Muslims, and quite a few of the Shiite Muslims, too."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that various Lebanese religious groups, including Christians, Druze, and Muslims, are requesting Israeli protection and that some want Israel to annex their territory. The hosts challenge this assertion by noting Israel has killed thousands of Lebanese civilians in recent months, far more than Hezbollah has killed Lebanese citizens. Netanyahu made these statements ahead of his meeting with President Trump.
