Israel “is a temporary state that cannot last for long,” says ex-Lebanese minister

Former Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Adnan Mansour: “Israel must not think that through continued acts of gnawing away [at the Palestinian land], annexing the territories, and expropriation it will be able to eliminate the Palestinian existence. As long as there is one Palestinian on the Palestinian lands who resists, this state [of Israel] will be unable to achieve its goal. I think that this state is a temporary state that cannot last for long. Today even Israeli statesmen, publicists, commentators, and the like have begun to cast doubts on the state’s ability to last for long.”
