Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly warned the terrorist group Hezbollah on Sunday after its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, threatened Israel over the weekend.

"A senior in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened that Iran would destroy Tel Aviv from Lebanon and exposed a truth – Hezbollah is simply Iran's arm in Lebanon against Israel," Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.

"Even though Nasrallah immediately denied the senior Iranian commander's remarks, I would like to make it clear that if Nasrallah dares to attack Israel, the organization and the Lebanese state that enable aggression from its territory against us will pay a very heavy price," the prime minister said.

Netanyahu also congratulated his British counterpart, Boris Johnson, for his landslide victory at the polls last week, calling it "a crushing victory in the struggle against anti-Semitism."

"I expect to continue working with Boris Jonson in the coming years in order to continue strengthening the excellent relations between Israel and Britain. They are manifest in vast mutual trade data, tourism, and very many other areas. They are also substantial in security and counterterrorism in hitherto unprecedented ways. I expect to continue," Netanyahu added.

Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz echoed the premier, saying that "Britain and all of Europe were saved from the danger of [Labour leader] Jeremy Corbyn. He is an anti-Semite of a new kind, not the kind that is for exterminating the Jews, but in favor of exterminating the state of the Jews."
