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.
