00:20A political storm is erupting inside Israel after far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly
00:29demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defy President Donald Trump and return to
00:35full-scale war against Hezbollah.
00:38The explosive comments came just hours after Hezbollah FPV drones struck Israeli forces in
00:46southern Lebanon, killing a senior Israeli officer and destroying multiple military vehicles.
00:52In a fiery statement, Ben-Gvir declared, drones must not be tolerated, Netanyahu must slam
01:01his hand on Trump's table and tell him we are going back to war.
01:06The remarks have sent shockwaves through Israeli politics and exposed growing tensions inside
01:12Netanyahu's government over how to respond to Hezbollah's escalating drone campaign.
01:17The immediate trigger was the deadly Hezbollah strike that killed Captain Maoz Israel Reqanadi,
01:25a platoon commander in the Galani Brigade's 12th Battalion.
01:29Israeli officials say explosive FPV drones hit IDF positions during ongoing security operations
01:37near the Lebanese border.
01:38The attack, once again, demonstrated Hezbollah's growing ability to strike Israeli troops with
01:45precision drones, despite months of fighting and a fragile ceasefire.
01:50Ben-Gvir, one of the most hard-line figures in Netanyahu's coalition, argues that Israel cannot
01:57afford restraint.
01:58He says, allowing Hezbollah to retain offensive drone capabilities is a direct threat to Israeli
02:05national security, and he accuses Washington of pressuring Israel into accepting a dangerous
02:12status quo.
02:13Behind the scenes, the comments reflect deepening frustration among Israeli right-wing with Trump's
02:20push for regional de-escalation.
02:22The White House has been heavily involved in indirect negotiations linked to Iran, Hezbollah,
02:29and broader Middle East security arrangements.
02:32But critics inside Israel fear diplomacy is buying time for Hezbollah to regroup, rearm, and adapt.
02:40Senior Israeli military officials have also acknowledged that Hezbollah's drone fleet
02:46remains a serious tactical challenge. The Iran-backed group has increasingly relied on FPV attack
02:53drones, electronic warfare, and low-cost aerial systems to target Israeli troops in surveillance
03:00positions. Ben-Gvir's remarks are placing additional pressure on Netanyahu, who now faces competing demands
03:08from Washington, the Israeli military, and hardline coalition partners. Analysts warn that
03:15openly challenging Trump at such a sensitive moment could strain relations between Jerusalem and
03:21Washington, just as regional diplomacy hangs by a thread. But inside Israel, anger is growing,
03:28and after another deadly drone attack, calls for a wider offensive against Hezbollah are becoming louder.
