Hochstein denies 'green light' to Israel, stresses need for diplomacy

W460

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein has denied that Washington has given a “green light” to Israel regarding its ongoing attack on Lebanon.

“Lots of wrong, irresponsible reporting these last few days. (The) US did not ‘green light’ military operations in Lebanon,” Hochstein said in a post on the X platform.

“Ultimately, only a diplomatic resolution will allow residents to return home. We continue to work w(ith) (the) governments of Israel & Lebanon on (the) best path to restore calm,” Hochstein added.

Hochstein is negotiating with the Lebanese elected government while the political and military power lies with Hezbollah. As a result he will accomplish nothing just as he has in his negotiations over the past 8 months.
