- "We hear a lot of Israeli threats day in and day out, and not only threats," Hariri told the BBC on Wednesday.
- "We see what's happening on the ground and in our airspace and what's happening all the time during the past two months — every day we have Israeli planes entering Lebanese airspace," Hariri added.
- The Lebanese leader noted that such moves by Israel were on the rise and warned, "This is something that is really dangerous."
- The remarks come after repeated threats from Israeli officials in recent weeks of a full-fledged war against Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement, and amid Tel Aviv's war of words with the Damascus Government.
- Hariri said Israel counts on Lebanon's confessionally-divided politics and the assumption that the Lebanese could not unite in case of a foreign attack.
- "I think they're betting that there might be some division in Lebanon, if there is a war against us…Well, there won't be a division in Lebanon."
- "We will stand against Israel. We will stand with our own people," he vowed.
