Greeting French President Emmanuel Macron, President Isaac Herzog says, “We are committed to overcome, and we are committed to destroying our enemies,” Ednews reports citing Times of Israel.

“The situation is extremely complicated and fragile,” says Herzog, stressing that “we are demanding the full and immediate release of all our citizens.”

“There is no difference between Israeli citizens and someone who holds another citizenship,” says the president, after reports emerged that dozens of hostages with foreign citizenship could be released.

Herzog also says Iran is “playing with fire” in Lebanon.

“If Hezbollah will drag us into war, it should be clear that Lebanon will pay the price. Lebanon cannot be a sovereign member of the international community, its citizens carrying a Lebanese passport, but when it comes to attacking Israel, they are not responsible.”

Speaking in English, Macron says, “The first objective should be the release of all hostages without any distinction.”

“I want to make sure you are not left alone in this war on terrorism,” he continues, “because I speak on behalf of a country which experienced terrorist attacks, and you were there. And I think this is our duty to fight against this terrorism, without any confusion, without enlarging the conflict.”
