US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that he hoped talks between Lebanon and Israel would lead to a strong Lebanese government and see Hezbollah disarmed.
"We are hopeful that talks between Lebanese authorities and Israelis will create outlines and a way forward that prevents further conflict," Rubio told reporters at his year-end press conference.
