Israel threatens “the entire region, Greater Israel will leave nothing” of the Arab states – former Lebanese minister

Former Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transportation Ghazi Aridi: "Matters will not remain within the borders of Palestine, this [Israeli] threat will reach all the Arab states… When they talk about 'Greater Israel,' to whom are their words directed? They say they want part of Lebanon's land, part of Syria's land, of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq. This is a threat to this entire region, and certainly also to Jordan, which borders the West Bank. This danger is not directed only at the Palestinian factions… Rather, it is directed at the entire region, and Greater Israel will leave nothing [of the Arab states] when it arises."
