Israel Tells Lebanon: "Hizbullah Must Be Defeated and Removed from the Equation"
(Ynet News) Lior Ben Ari - Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter, Israel's representative to the talks with Lebanon in Washington, said Tuesday: "Four rounds ago, we all boarded the same train...heading in a very clear direction: full peace between the countries, Iran out and its malign influence out of Lebanon; the dismantling of Hizbullah; peace and security for Lebanon and Israel. Today, that train is at risk of coming off the rails." "The premise was that Iran is out, and that the central discussion is about Lebanon and Hizbullah, not about how much Iran can restrain Hizbullah. That is not Iran's role. Its role is to get out of Lebanon." "We all support President Trump's vision to ensure that Iran no longer has nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles or the ability to funnel money to its proxies in order to threaten its neighbors and establish regional hegemony....The only issue is Hizbullah. Hizbullah must be defeated and removed from the equation."
