Riyadh and Doha Influence Aoun Toward US
Reports indicate that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will visit the White House later this month at the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump. This step reflects a development in the relations between the two countries, amid preparations by the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar to facilitate the visit. The visit coincides with the start of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations regarding the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the south, with Lebanon demanding security guarantees and a clear timetable for withdrawal, while Israel focuses on preventing Hezbollah from returning to military positions along the border. These developments raise questions about the negotiation pathways and the balance of power in the region, amidst internal disagreements within the U.S. administration about how to approach Lebanon and Iran.
