Lebanese messages to Washington on Israel, army, and reforms
The article focused on the meetings held by Lebanese presidents with American delegations in Washington, during which they discussed important topics related to Lebanon's stability. President Joseph Aoun emphasized the importance of U.S. pressure on Israel to implement the "Framework Agreement" concerning the ceasefire in the south, affirming that continued delays threaten the persistence of tension and hinder the state's control over its southern territories. He also confirmed U.S. support for Lebanon through military aid and called for the release of prisoners and the resolution of remaining issues along the Blue Line border. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri viewed Israel as the main obstacle to implementing ceasefire agreements and warned that Israeli aggression continues to impede efforts to build the state, cautioning that this impacts Lebanon’s stability. On its part, the Lebanese government, headed by Nohad Machnouk, in Washington, stressed the need to strengthen internal reforms and uphold state sovereignty, with a focus on supporting Lebanese society and its youth, rebuilding trust in Lebanese institutions, and underscoring the importance of an international umbrella to ensure assistance to the Lebanese army after Israel’s withdrawal. The article highlights efforts by Lebanese leaders to secure U.S. support for pressuring Israel to comply with agreements and for internal reforms aimed at stabilizing and rebuilding Lebanon.
