Israel's Ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, said Tuesday's meeting with Lebanese officials went as well as it could have as both parties agreed on the need to "liberate" the country from Hezbollah.
"We discovered today that we're on the same side of the equation, and that's the most positive thing we could have come away with," Leiter told press outside the State Department. "We are both united in liberating Lebanon from an occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah."
