US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said today that she is “more than happy” to go back to the Middle East if it helps in resolving the Lebanon crisis.
Speaking at a news conference in Malaysia, where she is attending a key regional security meeting, Rice said: “I am willing and ready to go back to the Middle East anytime.
“I am more than happy to go back if my efforts can move towards a sustainable ceasefire that would end the violence.”
Rice arrived in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur earlier today after a whirlwind trip to the Middle East to discuss the volatile situation following Israel’s attack on Lebanon.
