Lebanon embarrassed by Israeli envoy's Hezbollah remarks

Lebanon's political leadership has been embarrassed by public remarks from Israel's ambassador, who stated that both sides agree Hezbollah is a shared enemy. This has caused rising concern within Lebanon's anti-Hezbollah camp that ongoing talks with Israel could provoke Hezbollah to attempt assassinations of President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Salam. The ambassador's comments expose the delicate and dangerous internal divisions within Lebanon regarding engagement with Israel.
