00:00The problem with Israel and Lebanon is not Israel or Lebanon, it's Hezbollah.
00:04Hezbollah operates from inside of Lebanese territory.
00:06They terrorize and attack Israelis, but they also are inflicting tremendous damage on the Lebanese people.
00:12The reason why Lebanon gets attacked by Israel is because of Hezbollah,
00:16because Hezbollah is hiding in some house, launching rockets against Israelis, and then they get hit.
00:21So what you're seeing now is Israeli responses to either attacks or perceived threats.
00:26And this is going to be, this is not new. This has been going on for a very long time.
00:29What is our hope?
00:30Our hope is to engage the Lebanese and Israeli governments under our mediation at the table to achieve this.
00:37And that is having Lebanese armed forces and Lebanese government, not just with a willingness,
00:42but with the capability to begin to challenge Hezbollah and disarm them.
00:46Because the Lebanese people are also victims of Hezbollah.
