Israel Says Few Disagreements Remain with Lebanon Ahead of New Talks
(MENAFN) Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says there are no major disagreements between Israel and Lebanon ahead of a second round of talks scheduled in Washington on Thursday, as stated by reports citing Israeli media.
Speaking at a diplomatic event in Jerusalem, he says that only minor disputes remain, mainly related to border demarcation, and adds that these issues can be resolved through dialogue.
“We have no major disputes. There are a few minor disagreements regarding the border route that can be resolved,” he says, as stated by reports.
Saar also describes Lebanon in critical terms, calling it a “failed state” that he claims is heavily influenced by Iran through Hezbollah.
He further argues that Hezbollah is the main obstacle to peace and normalization between Israel and Lebanon, according to reports.
“Hezbollah is a common enemy of Israel and Lebanon,” he says, urging the Lebanese government to cooperate against what he calls the group’s influence in the country.
As stated by reports, Israeli and Lebanese representatives previously held talks in Washington on April 14—the first direct meeting in decades—and agreed to begin formal peace negotiations.
