Hezbollah analyzes Aoun's visit more form than substance
The President of the Republic, Jozef Aoun, visited the United States and met with President Trump, carrying significant political stakes amid a delicate situation facing Lebanon and a diplomatic process that impacts the country's future and the southern region. Despite Trump's warm reception and positive statements, the visit did not yield tangible results concerning sovereignty and security issues, as Lebanon was not promised a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory nor given a timetable for such. Trump used the term "redeployment" instead of "withdrawal." Additionally, agreements regarding the cessation of hostilities and the return of prisoners have made no progress. The only outcomes were the authorization of direct flights between Washington and Lebanon, which remain unsettled due to technical and security procedures. The discussions also focused on strengthening support for the Lebanese army through funding, training, and supply of spare parts, alongside an American request to reinforce relations with Damascus — a move that raises concerns about a U.S. attempt to reshape a new regional order in which Lebanon would be affected by increased influence and control. There is a clear overlap in American and Israeli terminology regarding Israeli forces in the south, heightening fears that the visit did not establish a balanced exchange between what Lebanon has offered and what it received in return. Ultimately, the results of the visit did not match the concessions and commitments Lebanon made, and the overall picture confirms that Lebanon continues to pay a heavy price for limited outcomes.
