Visiting US envoy Amos Hochstein on Monday said it was not in Lebanon’s interests to link its fate to other conflicts, saying Washington wants to end the Israel-Hezbollah war “as soon as possible”.

“Tying Lebanon’s future to other conflicts in the region was not and is not in the interest of the Lebanese people,” Hochstein told a press conference after meeting with Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally, adding that the United States wants to end the conflict “as soon as possible”.
