Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee wrote on X: “Mrs. Carol, you once sang a song that says: ‘I don’t know who sold the country, but I saw who paid the price.’” I would like to make clear to you that the one who sold your country is not the Israeli, but unfortunately it is someone who is part of it and is in it, as the Lebanese proverb says: “Vinegar worms are in it and in it.” That is, Hezbollah, which surrendered the land of the south and made Lebanon a hostage of Iranian influence. He added: "The one who is ready to give up the south is Hezbollah, which signed its identity and placed it at Iran's disposal. And as a Lebanese, I say to you: It is in the Israeli interest that Lebanon and the Lebanese be careful about their homeland, because then Lebanon will flourish, develop, and express the spirit of its authentic people; a free and creative people, not a people ruled by chaos, weapons, and dependency. The Israeli interest is that your neighbor is well, so that you are well, Mrs. Carol. And certainly a day will come when the war will end, as the words of your song say, and peace will prevail." Until then you will be fine...”
