"It is a big mistake to include Iran in the Lebanese-Israeli settlement process," he said.

Herzog said that there are no territorial disputes in Lebanon, so an agreement with the country may be signed soon. He clarified that this arrangement should be hindered by the Hezbollah organization. In addition, the president noted that this aspect of the negotiations worries Israel and it has been conveyed to the American side.
