Rubio: Hezbollah threat one of main issues to be discussed
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking to reporters in Kuwait on Wednesday, emphasized that the threat posed by Hezbollah will be one of the main topics of discussion.
“The only reason Israel is in Lebanon is that Hezbollah launches rockets and drones from there,” Rubio stated. “If Hezbollah wasn't launching against them, they wouldn't be there.”

He expressed hope that, through the mechanisms established during the US-mediated talks, “the legitimate sovereign Lebanese government will continue to be able to control and secure more and more of their own territory.”
