US envoy JD Vance stated that Washington expects Hezbollah to refrain from firing rockets at Israel, but also expects Israel not to 'run wild' in Lebanon, according to a report by Abu Ali Express. The remarks come amid the ongoing diplomatic framework of the emerging US-Iran agreement.
US envoy JD Vance delivered a more complete picture of Washington's expectations on Thursday, adding that the emerging US-Iran agreement is expected to hold both sides in check: Hezbollah must refrain from firing rockets at Israel, while Israel must not 'run wild' in Lebanon, according to a report from Abu Ali Express. The first version of The Zioneer's coverage, published at 18:41 Jerusalem, reported only Vance's warning that Israel should not 'run wild' in southern Lebanon. The new statement, reported shortly after, makes the mutual nature of the expected restraint explicit.
