Washington: Lebanese Favor State over Hezbollah
The article discusses the United States' publicly announced support for the Lebanese government, where Washington reiterated its commitment to Lebanon's sovereignty and its rejection of the presence of militias, especially Hezbollah, on Lebanese territory. It emphasized that the Lebanese people prefer state institutions over the party’s weapons, underscoring the Lebanese government’s insistence on asserting its sovereignty through the Lebanese army and the necessity for decisions related to war and peace to be solely in the hands of the state. At the same time, Israeli violations in southern Lebanon continue, with Israel conducting repeated raids and bombings since March, following Hezbollah’s rocket attacks on northern Israel and the assassination of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Despite ceasefire agreements, Israeli military operations persist. The U.S. ambassador to Lebanon expressed the readiness of his country to negotiate with Hezbollah if it has something to offer, amid ongoing military escalation by both sides.
