"Hezbollah should realize that resorting to violence is incompatible with the interests of the whole of Lebanon, the interests of the Lebanese people, the interests of the region and the interests of the United States," Clinton went on to claim.
"We must reiterate that no one knows what the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will do or who it will charge and when will it choose to act," Clinton claimed.
Commenting on press reports saying that Syria is still providing Hezbollah with advanced weapons and missiles, Clinton warned that weapons and technology must not be transferred to Hezbollah.
Clinton said that Syrian behavior has not lived up to the level of US hopes and our expectations during the past twenty months. "Syria's performance has not lived up to its international obligations," she added.
She believed Syria "is still able to choose another route and we hope it will do so," stressing that US dialogue with Damascus "will not be at Lebanon's expense."
