The United States is against the displacement of Palestinians from the battered Gaza Strip to another country, its special envoy for humanitarian affairs in the Middle East, David Satterfield, told Lebanese broadcaster al-Jadeed on Wednesday.
Satterfield said Gazans displaced to the strip's south by Israel's military operations "must be allowed to return to homes in the north as soon as possible."
He said the U.S. "wants to see Israel succeed in its campaign," and warned Lebanese Hezbollah to halt missile fire on Israel if it wanted to avoid an escalation.
Among the more paradoxical chapters in Lebanese political history is the relationship between the Kataeb Party (founded on the model of European fascist movements) and the country’s small but vibrant Jewish community.
There are moments in history when nations reveal their true character. Not in speeches, not at summits, not in carefully worded communiqués, but in actions. Or rather, in their absence.
Lebanon has formally notified the United Nations that its government considers all military activities by Hezbollah to be illegal.
