Israel is ready for a military confrontation with Lebanon but is giving diplomatic efforts a chance, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Simona Halperin said.
"We aren’t at all interested in a full-scale war with Lebanon," Simona Halperin said.
However, the envoy did not rule out that Israel "will be forced to enter a full-scale war on the northern front." According to her, the country "is absolutely ready" for that.
"Still, we are giving diplomacy a chance," Simona Halperin said.
