Minister Bar Lev: "Netanyahu behaves exactly like Nasrallah and attacks the government"

The Minister of Internal Security said these things against the background of Netanyahu's opposition to the emerging agreement with Lebanon on the maritime border.

"What is Nasrallah doing inside Lebanon? He is attacking the Lebanese government which is supposedly giving up and the State of Israel is going to take over Lebanon's gas deposits. Exactly the same, Netanyahu is doing here," he wrote on Twitter

Voila system!

Internal Security Minister Amr Bar Lev today (Sunday) compared the leader of the opposition and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu to Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah.

This, in the background of Netanyahu's opposition to the emerging agreement with Lebanon on the maritime border.

"Netanyahu behaves exactly like Nasrallah" he wrote on Twitter.

"What is Nasrallah doing inside Lebanon? He is attacking the Lebanese government which is supposedly giving up and the State of Israel is going to take over Lebanon's gas deposits. Exactly the same, Netanyahu is doing here. He has no idea what is going on. The only thing he has an idea about is the years he was prime minister And nothing moved."

"That's why I see it in a very, very serious way," continued Bar Lev.

"It's all politics to confuse the public and mislead them into insecurity. There is no doubt that Netanyahu is harming the security of the State of Israel with the irresponsible things he says. He is both ignorant of the details and misleading the public. We are not going to give up an inch of Israeli sovereignty."

Netanyahu released an election video yesterday, in which he claimed that Lapid bowed to the threats of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and did not activate the "Shark" gas rig.

Netanyahu claimed that Lapid intends to give up gas reserves worth billions that will fall into the hands of Hezbollah.

However, Netanyahu's words were factually incorrect.

The "Shark" rig has not been activated yet, because the "Energean" company has not completed the necessary technical tests and is the one that postponed the activation.

Lapid himself said that Israel will activate "Shark" regardless of Nasrallah's threats.

Also, the emerging agreement is very similar to the agreement that the Netanyahu government negotiated.

The one who led the talks at the time was Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz.

Prime Minister Lapid today attacked the leader of the opposition for the video.

"Netanyahu's statement is a terrible irresponsibility. It is a violation of the Israeli government's negotiations, a violation of our security, political and economic interests," Lapid said at a press briefing in New York.

The draft agreement submitted to Israel and Lebanon by the American envoy Amos Hochstein anchors the security "line of buoys" that Israel unilaterally placed on the Rosh Hankara beach after the withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 to a recognized international border line, a senior political official said in a press briefing.

The anchoring of the "line of buoys", which starts from the coast in the border area at Rosh Hankara and stretches west about five kilometers into the Mediterranean Sea, and turning it into a recognized international border line was Israel's main demand during the negotiations with Lebanon in recent months.

Senior Israeli officials stress that the anchoring of the "Line of Lines" is extremely important for security reasons, because until today it was a line up to which Israel acted unilaterally, which had international legitimacy for the Lebanese side to challenge it.

In addition, if the "floating line" were to move south from where it is today, this would allow a line of sight and observation from the Lebanese side towards the coastline of northern Israel.
