Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon told Arab media Thursday that the time has come for peace between Israel and Lebanon. "Enough! Enough with the wars. It's about time that Lebanon will be governed by the Lebanese," Danon said, according to the ambassador's remarks reported by Israeli media.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon made a direct appeal for peace between Israel and Lebanon in remarks to Arab media on Thursday. Danon's statement — "Enough! Enough with the wars. It's about time that Lebanon will be governed by the Lebanese" — reinforces a broader diplomatic push by Israeli officials in recent days. As The Zioneer reported, Danon earlier this week described the emerging Lebanon agreement as bad news for Hezbollah and Iran and called its implementation a test for the Lebanese army. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar similarly stated on Monday that Israel aims for peace with Lebanon, conditional on ending what he termed the Iranian occupation of Lebanon through Hezbollah. Thursday's remarks, made directly to an Arab audience, mark a further escalation in Israel's public campaign to frame the Lebanon normalization as a regional opportunity. No formal response from Beirut has been reported.
