Details: According to him, as for Lebanon, it is clearly not in the interests of Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah, or anyone to see an escalation in this issue and see a real conflict.
He said that the Israeli side made it very clear that it wants to “find a diplomatic path” that will create such security conditions both for 100 thousand Israelis in the north of the country and for residents of southern Lebanon.
Blinken stressed that the United States is working intensively on this and is doing it diplomatically.
