Lebanon ceasefire separate from Iran deal: Rubio
Negotiating and maintaining a ceasefire in Lebanon will be kept separate from any deal with Iran, Rubio told reporters when he landed in Abu Dhabi
Negotiating and maintaining a ceasefire in Lebanon will be kept separate from any deal with Iran, Rubio told reporters when he landed in Abu Dhabi. “That process is separate. It’s separate because Lebanon is a sovereign country.
It has a government, and when it comes to Lebanon and what’s happening inside of Lebanon, we’re going to negotiate and deal directly with the Lebanese government”, he said. “There’s an Iranian issue with regards to Lebanon, and that is their support and sponsorship of Hezbollah.
And so that factor will be discussed as part of our conversations with the Iranians. But as far as the future of Lebanon, the future of Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese people through their sovereign, elected government.
And that’s who we’re going to be working with.” Find us on Check our website Check out our Instagram page Download AJE Mobile App
