Report: US wants to prevent a new Israeli war on Lebanon
The Americans are very interested in Lebanon on all levels, especially as to the situation on the southern border, and they want to end the conflict and avoid a repetition of the latest war between Israel and Hezbollah, informed diplomatic sources said.
The U.S. wants diplomacy to prevail in order to “give a chance for restoring stability, prosperity and investments in Lebanon, Israel and the region,” the sources told al-Binaa newspaper in remarks published Thursday.
“That’s why the U.S. involvement will intensify at the beginning of the year and there will be practical steps on these topics,” the sources added.”
“Lebanon has a historic chance to exit the quagmire of its crises, and if it does not respond to the demands, it will lose U.S. interest and things will further deteriorate on all levels,” the sources warned.
