Netanyahu to Nasrallah: Stay in your bunker

"Don't doubt Israel's ability to defend itself," PM says after Hezbollah leader threatens to conquer Galilee; Netanyahu says Israel is interested in a democratic, peaceful Egypt.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, at the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations gathering in Jerusalem, responded to Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah's speech Wednesday. "Whoever hides in a bunker should stay in the bunker," Netanyahu said. "No one should doubt Israel's strength or its ability to defend itself".

He added: "Nasrallah said he would capture the Galilee, I have news for you - you won't." "We have a strong army," he added. "We seek peace with all of our neighbors, but the IDF is prepared to defend Israel from any of its enemies."
