Episode Details

Lebanon’s President Aoun made history with his first-ever White House meeting with President Trump, pushing for Israel’s full withdrawal from Lebanese soil—a move critical to restoring Lebanon’s sovereignty. Amid displaced civilians and lingering Israeli troops, Aoun urged U.S. backing while navigating the delicate challenge of disarming Hezbollah, a powerful force Trump also called out. Trump pledged to elevate Lebanon’s global standing, even directing U.S. airlines to fly directly to Beirut to signal renewed support. Just hours before the Trump meeting, Lebanese forces began reclaiming territory from Israeli troops, testing the viability of the U.S.-brokered plan to disarm Hezbollah and restore Lebanese control.
