U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that reaching a peace agreement between Lebanon and Israel is “possible very soon and should be achieved,” amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to ease tensions in the region.

 

Rubio emphasized the need to advance direct negotiations between the two sides, affirming that Washington supports any path that would lead to a comprehensive settlement.
