Lebanon switches to daylight saving time

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that peace between Israel and Lebanon was achievable but that the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah was a problem.

Samir Geagea has had enough. The leader of the Lebanese Forces party fired back Tuesday at Hezbollah's blanket rejection of direct Lebanon-Israel negotiations, delivering one of the sharpest rebukes yet from within the Lebanese political establishment.

Lebanon's parliament speaker, who is the most senior Shi'ite politician and a close ally of Hezbollah, said on Monday there could be no negotiations with Israel without a halt to the war that has raged on in southern Lebanon in spite of a ceasefire.
