Rubio says Lebanon ceasefire 'unique' because 'Lebanon and Israel are not at war'
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted Tuesday on the X platform segments of an interview in which he told Fox News that "The Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is very unique" because "Lebanon and Israel are not at war."
"Israel’s problem is with Hezbollah. Unfortunately, Hezbollah happens to be inside of Lebanon conducting attacks against Israel," Rubio said in the interview.
He added that "both Israel and Lebanon seek peace with each other," and both "are victims of Hezbollah."

Israel and Lebanon have not been at war since the cease fire which was signed in 1949. Unfortunately for Lebanon for the last many years there have been terrorist organisations financed from the exterior, mainly Iran, which ignore the orders of LAF and the Government of the Republic and repeatedly carry out attacks against Israel, forcing the IDF to respond.
