U.S. President Donald Trump has held Hezbollah solely responsible for the ongoing conflict with Israel, according to remarks conveyed to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. Senator Marco Rubio stated that Hezbollah must immediately stop its attacks to create an opportunity for easing tensions with Israel. Rubio also praised Aoun’s courage and foresight in continuing direct talks with Israel.

Rubio said Hezbollah is attempting to undermine efforts to seize a historic opportunity for advancing peace and stability. He reaffirmed Washington’s support for diplomatic initiatives aimed at reducing tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border.

Despite a ceasefire, Israel continues to carry out full-scale attacks in Lebanon, while Hezbollah is conducting retaliatory strikes, according to the report sourced from Middle East Eye.
