Top U.S. diplomat Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the United States and Israel expect the Lebanese state to work towards disarming Iran-backed Hezbollah, which fought a war with Israel last year.

"In the case of Lebanon, our goals are aligned in the same. A strong Lebanese state that can take on and disarm Hezbollah," Rubio said in a joint address to reporters with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

We will disarm Hezbollah with our brotheren IDF from the sky, Simply because we tried and tried and tried for 30 years to ask them "nicely" to disarm and they continue to refuse to do so and live in the past.
