Israel says it’s open to a diplomatic solution on Lebanon but vowed to use “all means” in its goal of degrading Iranian-backed Hezbollah.
“We are grateful for all those who are making a sincere effort with diplomacy to avoid escalation, to avoid a full war,” Israel’s UN envoy Danny Danon says, but adds that if talks failed: “We will use all means at our disposal, in accordance with international law, to achieve our aims.”
