Ben-Gvir Demands Netanyahu Raze South Beirut as Hezbollah Rockets Escalate
🏚️ BEIRUT — Ben-Gvir demands south Beirut razed; Netanyahu's leash just got shorter. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Ben-Gvir's demand — level south Beirut — isn't strategy, it's coalition math. Netanyahu needs Otzma Yehudit to hold his government; defying Ben-Gvir costs him seats. With Hezbollah rockets escalating and Washington pressing restraint, he's squeezed from both sides. The louder Ben-Gvir gets, the harder Trump's containment claim holds.
