End game for Israel is to have ‘permission to do whatever it wants’

Discussing Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Israeli political commentator Ori Goldberg says the “end game” for Israel is that it wants “permission to basically do whatever it wants”. “It wants an official note written by the United Nations allowing it to exercise exclusive discretion. That is the end game,” he told Al Jazeera. “The end game is not a stable Lebanese government or a stable Lebanese state. It’s providing Israeli citizens – and this for the political purposes of the current government – with the sense that only Israel ‘shapes its destiny’. That’s the end game.”
