Israeli President Isaac Herzog commended the Lebanese government on Wednesday night for expelling Iran’s ambassador from the country.
Beirut’s decision is “very bold,” Herzog said during a visit to a site in Tel Aviv that was hit by an Iranian missile.
Expelling the diplomat is a “major watershed step that must be exploited and understood in the context of major changes in the region, which can be reached if the empire of evil from Tehran and its proxies, especially Hezbollah, are wiped out … so that peace can be brought to this region,” the president continued.
