Speaking about Lebanon, JD Vance said it was a “work in progress”.
On the “deconfliction mechanism” set for Lebanon, the US vice president said, “When things actually happen, the sides are actually talking”.
Reaffirming Israel’s right to respond, “But, we can actually have a better and more peaceful situation if Israel responds in the context of a conversation that’s ongoing between Hezbollah, Lebanon, Israel and other partners in the region.”
He further said, “You’ve already seen the fruits of that. Over the past 24 hours have probably been the most peaceful that we’ve seen in Lebanon […] so this is a work in progress, but what we’ve done is actually set up the operation so it doesn’t spiral out of control in the future.”
