Netanyahu calls on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, says Israel to 'act as necessary'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Hezbollah is attempting to "rearm" itself.
"We expect the Lebanese government to fulfill its commitment -- to disarm Hezbollah -- but it is clear we will exercise our right of self-defense under the terms of ceasefire," Netanyahu told the Israeli cabinet at its weekly meeting on Sunday.
"We will not allow Lebanon to become a renewed front against us, and we will act as necessary," he said, according to a statement issued by his office.
