Mayor of Safad: We are definitely not ready for war with Hezbollah

Yossi Kakan, who has been the mayor of Safad since last March, announced in an interview with Calcalist newspaper: After the evacuation of border towns with Lebanon, Safad has become the most dangerous city and the threats of the red situation there are even greater than Nahariya.

He emphasized that we have been living in a state of terror since eight months ago, and sometimes we even go to bed with shoes on.

This Shas Party member added: The gap between Safed and the surrounding world in the center is increasing day by day, those who left Safed and went to other places, have discovered another world, to In my opinion, anyone who migrated from the city will not return here.

He also admitted that the community (settlement) in Safad is a community. It is weak and disjointed.

Kakan added: When I came to Shahrdair three months ago, I realized that the municipality is completely stopped and paralyzed. We live in a very complex city, this city has 40 thousand inhabitants, half of them are extreme Jews, 30% are secular and the rest are Arabs.

She admitted, the missiles had thrown the city’s focus. Since October 10, this city has entered into a state of war and today we are witnessing that missiles are falling on us like rain, just today (Tuesday) a soldier was injured during an interception operation, due to the presence of the Northern Region Command, the hospital Zif and Mount Miron (on which the spying equipment of the Zionist regime are located), the strategic installations of the electric company and the migration of the settlers from the northern areas, it is not possible to close the city, and that is why today Safed has become the most dangerous area in Israel.

I’m doing my best to find a way to stay alive, so prepare yourself for what’s likely to happen,” he added. I am preparing, the very dangerous issue that exists is that we have no control over the capacities through which it is possible to respond to Hezbollah. The day after I became mayor, I had a meeting in the municipality and there I realized that there are many gaps and weaknesses for There are preparations to protect the city and I came to the conclusion that we are not able to manage the city in unexpected circumstances.

He also revealed I was not invited as the mayor of Safed in yesterday’s meeting between the commander of the northern region of the army and the heads of the northern settlements. Benjamin Netanyahu also comes to the headquarters of the northern command once a week, but I have never been invited for a meeting.

He also informed that, since the beginning of the war, the economic and commercial conditions in the city have become extremely bad, people only open their business centers within the framework of supply and demand, we In the past years, we had hundreds of thousands of tourists, based on which many commercial activities were formed, hotels, theaters, and even restaurants have been affected by these dire conditions and all of them have been closed.

On the other hand, Zionist military analyst Yossi Yehoshua, in a conversation with FM 103 radio on Tuesday morning, announced the main reason for Israel’s fear of going to war with Hezbollah.

According to this Israeli analyst, Tel Aviv will not go anywhere from its attack against Lebanon.

According to Yehoshua’s interpretation, if the war against Hezbollah is carried out in a surprising way or three weeks later or a month later, it will only lead to destruction at this point or that point, after that and What will be the next step?

In this regard, he added: Only after this conflict and destruction can a ceasefire agreement be reached in any way. and the people of Lebanon will remain in the south of this country, so in a situation where Israel is engaged in another war in the south, it is in Israel’s interest to avoid this war as much as possible.
