Lebanon's Peace Push at White House | Portland Maine News
Description
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun made a historic White House visit—first in ten years—to secure U.S. backing for a fragile peace deal ending Israel-Hezbollah hostilities. He pushed for Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon and stronger U.S. support for Lebanon’s army, following a June 26 U.S.-brokered agreement hailed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio as “the beginning of the beginning.” But tensions flare: Israeli forces remain in contested zones, Hezbollah refuses to engage, and a recent skirmish near a village threatens deployment plans—while the U.S. vows to stay the course.
