Rubio Accuses Hezbollah of Trying to 'Drag Lebanon Back Into Chaos'
Rubio said Hezbollah’s calls to topple Lebanon’s government and reject talks with Israel risk renewed conflict as U.S.-backed negotiations continue.
- On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned Hezbollah's "reckless call to overthrow Lebanon's democratically elected government," warning the group's "threats of violence" would fail to succeed.
- Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem urged citizens to "take to the streets" to bring down the government, citing U.S. sanctions against the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Qard Al-Hassan financial institution as justification.
- Since March 2, Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed 3,151 people and wounded 9,571 others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry, while strikes continue despite a recently extended ceasefire.
- Negotiators are scheduled to hold a fourth round of talks in Washington on June 2 and 3, as the U.S. pursues a potential deal with Iran that could end the conflict.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said President Trump "reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself" in a phone call, while the U.S. expressed support for the Lebanese government's restoration efforts.
