‘Israel-Lebanon agreement puts US in difficult position’

The US finds itself in a difficult position after the Israel-Lebanon agreement, as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this would be the “beginning of the beginning” of a tough but necessary journey. This is not a bilateral agreement between Lebanon and Israel but a trilateral agreement that includes commitments from the US; reimbursing the Lebanese Army with more than $30 million and to mobilise an immediate $100 million in humanitarian assistance in coordination with the UN.
