WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that peace between Israel and Lebanon was achievable but that Lebanese militant group Hezbollah was a problem.
“By and large, I think a peace deal between Lebanon and Israel is imminently achievable, and should be,” Rubio told reporters in a White House press briefing.
“The problem with Israel and Lebanon is not Israel or Lebanon, it’s Hezbollah.”
