The Lebanese Foreign Minister spoke after the exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel across the Israeli border.
Asked about Israel's determination to retaliate against Iran, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said Lebanon is worried.
"Any kind of retaliation will end in a bigger war. Lebanon, Syria and Jordan could be in trouble. I hope for a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.
It is not a matter of Hezbollah being stronger than the Lebanese army, because they will not clash or fight each other," the Lebanese foreign minister said.
Until October 7, there was "nothing at the border", he continues, as he says he hopes it will return to a peaceful border.
More than 5,000 houses have been destroyed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks.
Asked about Hezbollah's support for the Iranian attack, the minister said that "we do not denounce the attack, because Israel started it".
"We have no influence on Hezbollah as long as there is war between them and the Israelis and if we have a choice then we support Hezbollah. A two-state solution is "the solution to most problems in the Middle East," the minister concluded.
