US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced remarkable progress in the negotiations, which would allow the Lebanese and Israelis to live in a future in security and peace, away from conflict.
He stressed that the Lebanese people deserve to live in security and peace, noting that the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel constitutes the beginning of a long path of work, and that the coming stages still require more efforts.
In this context, the Israeli ambassador in Washington announced that he had reached a framework of action that he described as “historic” with Lebanon, praising the performance of the Lebanese ambassador in the negotiations.
He added that, in his words, Iran and its agents tried to influence the course of the agreement, stressing that Iran and Hezbollah are outside the framework agreement.
On the other hand, Lebanese Ambassador Nada Moawad said
In Washington, the meeting was long and difficult, expressing her gratitude to the host, without revealing additional details.
