The Americans are very interested in Lebanon on all levels, especially as to the situation on the southern border, and they want to end the conflict and avoid a repetition of the latest war between Israel and Hezbollah, informed diplomatic sources said.

The U.S. wants diplomacy to prevail in order to “give a chance for restoring stability, prosperity and investments in Lebanon, Israel and the region,” the sources told al-Binaa newspaper in remarks published Thursday.
