In Beirut, US envoy Hochstein says he believes war between Israel and Hezbollah avoidable

US envoy Amos Hochstein says that he believes a war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group can be avoided.

Hochstein arrived in Beirut today amid a concerted push by the US to prevent regional tensions from spiraling into an all-out war.

When asked at a news conference after meeting Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a strong Hezbollah ally, whether Israel and Hezbollah can avoid a war, Hochstein replies: “I hope so, I believe so.”
