WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that peace between Israel and Lebanon was achievable but that Lebanese militant group Hezbollah was a problem. “By and large, I think a peace deal between Lebanon and Israel is imminently achievable, and should be,” Rubio told reporters in a White House press briefing. “The problem with Israel and Lebanon is not Israel or Lebanon, it’s Hezbollah.” (Reporting by Steve Holland and Kanishka Singh in Washington; editing by Michelle Nichols)
