'Time running out' for diplomatic solution in south Lebanon, says Israel FM Katz

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Monday said “time is running out” for attaining a diplomatic resolution in south Lebanon as tensions surge between the two nations, marked by daily cross-border exchanges of fire. “Israel will act militarily to return the evacuated citizens” to its northern border area if no diplomatic solution is reached to end the violence, AFP quoted Katz as saying to his visiting French counterpart Stephane Sejourne.
