Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar claimed there are “no major disputes” between Israel and Lebanon ahead of a second round of talks in Washington on Thursday, Israeli media reported. “We have no major disputes. There are a few minor disagreements regarding the border route that can be resolved,” Saar told members of the diplomatic corps at an event in Jerusalem, as cited by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth. Saar described Lebanon as “a failed state, effectively controlled by Iran through Hezbollah,” claiming that Hezbollah represents the main “obstacle to peace and normalisation” between Tel Aviv and Beirut.
