Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel is "giving the diplomatic track with Iran a chance, if the negotiations fail - we will reconsider the military option," he said in an interview with the Saudi television network Al Arabiya in English.
"We will respond to Hezbollah attacks as we see fit. We will withdraw from Lebanon when there is an effective governmental and military Lebanese authority, we will reconsider the military option with Iran if the American negotiations fail," Saar added.
