“The United States of America, President Trump, our administration fully supports the State of Israel responding to the broken ceasefire that emanated from Lebanon this morning,” US deputy Mideast envoy Morgan Ortagus tells Asharq News.
“Israel is defending its people and interests by responding to rocket attacks from terrorists in Lebanon. As part of the cessation of hostilities agreement, the government of Lebanon is responsible for disarming Hezbollah and all other terrorists, and we expect the Lebanese Armed Forces to disarm these terrorists to prevent further attacks,” Ortagus says in a separate statement to The Times of Israel.
