Ex-US ambassador Hale calls for turning tables on Iran, proxies after war

W460

Former U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale has called for the implementation of U.N. Resolution 1701 and for turning the tables on Iran and its proxies in the region when the war on Gaza ends.

Since the war in Gaza began, there have been near-daily clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces along the Lebanon-Israel border, with fears of an escalation to a full-scale war.

On the Lebanese side, more than 140 people have been killed, most of them Hezbollah fighters -- including one announced on Thursday -- but also more than a dozen civilians, three of them journalists, according to an AFP tally.

On the Israeli side, four civilians and seven soldiers have been killed, according to officials.

Hale also said, in an interview with MTV, that implementing Res. 1701 will put a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of the army.

He added that it is a good time for continuity in the army command "at a time of war in the region" and amid "a potential of a greater escalation" in Lebanon, lauding the extension of the term of Army chief Gen. Joseph Aoun.

"He served as the United States Ambassador to Lebanon from 2013 to 2015. Hale was the United States Ambassador to Pakistan from August 5, 2015 to August 30, 2018. In May 2017, he dedicated a new Counter-Terrorism Department building in Karachi."
Inotherwords, an Obama bomber-man.

The majority of Indians are such racists against Muslims, Buddhists, Christians and Sikh. Britain destroyed their city states and somehow believed it would be a good idea to merge the various kingdoms into one large entity.

However, they have the best food!
