Israeli envoy to US says Hezbollah feels emboldened
Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter on Tuesday lamented that Hezbollah feels emboldened after the latest developments and ceasefire.
"Four rounds ago, we all boarded the same train, when it was on its way to a clear destination: complete peace between the two countries, the removal of Iran (from Lebanon), the dismantling of Hezbollah, and the achievement of peace and security for Lebanon and Israel," Israel's Channel 12 quoted Leiter as saying during the opening session of the fifth round of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel in Washington.
"Today, this train is in danger of derailing. There is a risk that Hezbollah has received a boost of encouragement; there is no doubt that it feels strong and emboldened," Leiter decried.
