The Times of Israel reported Israel's ambassador to the US sharply criticized the Trump administration for agreeing to fold Iran into a Washington memorandum on Lebanon ceasefire talks signed last week, calling it a "disaster." He is leading the fifth round of direct Israel-Lebanon negotiations at the State Department. He said when Israel and Lebanon began direct talks "we all boarded the same train," with the US as the locomotive aiming for comprehensive peace, the removal of Iranian influence from Lebanon, the disarmament of Hezbollah and security between the two countries. He warned the train now risks derailing and said he hopes to get it back on track.
