Rubio Meets Lebanon's President, Discusses Israel-Lebanon Framework Agreement
Rubio praised Lebanon’s push for peace and sovereignty as the deal’s implementation depends on Hezbollah disarmament and Israeli withdrawal from the south.
- On July 19, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Washington, praising the country for its "move towards peace" after recent Lebanon-Israel talks.
- US-Sponsored negotiations in June established a framework agreement, with talks last week in Rome defining implementation of pilot zones for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon.
- This visit marks the first trip to Washington by a Lebanese head of state since Michel Sleiman was received by Barack Obama in 2009, underscoring diplomatic significance.
- Rubio commended the Government's "determined effort to reclaim Lebanon's sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure," as Aoun prepares to meet President Donald Trump on July 21.
- While the United States remains committed to the Trilateral Framework, Hezbollah has rejected the agreement, and the United States conducted airstrikes against Iran on July 19 following military casualties.
