Questioned on Franceinfo about a possible Israeli intervention in Lebanon, Catherine Tricot, director of the magazine Regardsconsidered that it would not be a strategic error but rather part of a broader political project carried by the Israeli government. “ I don’t know if this is actually a strategic error. I think it would be very serious, but in fact it is more part of a strategic plan “, she said. According to her, the project carried by Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right government would be part of a logic of territorial expansion. Catherine Tricot thus evokes the idea of ​​a “ Greater Israel project in which there is an extension of the territory ”, including not only “ the absorption of the Palestinian territories ”, but can also concern “ Lebanon, even Jordan and Syria “.

While the journalist raised the hypothesis of a simple control of the southern zone of Lebanon to protect Israeli territory, the director of Regards felt that the ambitions could be broader. “ I think they think further and are reassured in this sense “, she said. She notably referred to recent statements by the United States ambassador to Israel, who reportedly considered that Israel could, “ according to the texts of the Bible, claim all the territories going from the Nile to the Euphrates “.

For Catherine Tricot, these positions are part of a discourse already present among certain Israeli officials. “ We know very well that this is part of… Israeli government ministers stated it this way “, she added. “ I don’t believe this is a strategic error. I think it’s very serious, but I think it’s part of a plan “, she concluded.
