Israel's foreign minister on Wednesday called on Lebanon to make joint efforts with Israel to counter Hezbollah.
"Tomorrow, the direct talks between Israel and Lebanon will resume in Washington DC. I call on the government of Lebanon. Let's work together against the terror state that Hezbollah built in your territory," Gideon Saar said in a speech to diplomats at a function marking Israel's 78th "Independence Day."
"This cooperation is needed by you even more than by us. It requires moral clarity and the courage to take risks. But there is no real alternative for ensuring a future of peace for you and for us," he said.
