Arsen Ostrovsky: The elimination of Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah, was entirely in accordance with international law, incl. Israel’s right to self defense. We have to remember it was Hezbollah that initiated this wave of rocket bombardment since Oct 8. The situation was intolerable and Israel had every right to respond.
The interview took place on CNN News 18, September 28, 2024.
Arsen Ostrovsky: “In the last 48 hours, approx. 1/4 of Israel’s population was in bomb shelters after relentless Hezbollah rocket fire for 11.5 months. That is equivalent of 400 million people in India! India wouldn’t tolerate this and nor should Israel.”

Prof. Kobi Michael: The PA and Abbas duplicate all of the corruption, nepotism, and inefficiency of the Palestine Liberation Organization” that was created by Arafat. Abbas does not accept the basic right of the Jewish people to self-determination, and therefore he doesn’t recognize the right of the state of Israel to be a nation state of the Jewish people in any borders.
He has not educated the young generation and has not educated PA officials for peace. On the contrary, Abbas has led and enabled the indoctrination toward hatred and toward delegitimization of the state of Israel.

Prof. Kobi Michael: Israel’s escalating airstrikes Are not preparation for a ground op, it’s a way to escape it. Israel is demonstrating its capabilities, showing it is not afraid of war in order to make Hezbollah agree to a diplomatic solution.

Prof. Kobi Michael: We need to show that we are not afraid of an all-out war. We will continue to fight Hezbollah and they must understand, as the Lebanese government and the international community, what the results of a multi-regional war could be.
I think that the only proposal that Israel should accept is full realization of UN security Council resolution 1701 and not stopping the fire. Otherwise we will find ourselves in a situation where the government will not be able to realize our sovereignty in the North and unabling to convince the residents to return to their homes..

On September 4, Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, and at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies, stated in an interview on IDF Radio: “An [Israeli] military administration is required at this time…The issue of a military administration is the third stage, after conquering territory, and clearing it [of enemy forces], and it is the last stage before phase four, which is fostering a [Gazan] governmental alternative on the conquered territory.”

Prof. Kobi Michael: After 11 months of attritional war that Israel cannot tolerate any more, Israel signals that it would be better for Hezbollah to be serious around the negotiating table (with yesterday’s strikes). If they will not be serious in this regard, then Israel will be much more serious.
This is only the beginning… and if the Hezbollah reactions will cross the Israeli red lines, then Israel will be in an all-out war with Hezbollah.
