> You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.
Is what he said to Lebanon, where he threatened to do similar things to another country.
If you're going to try and argue semantics when there is literal evidence of him following through then there isn't really any point.
It's reported he said it, there is no denial that he said it, and then he delivered on what he said. There is a reason there is an arrest warrant out for war crimes.
