Washington's Support and Conditions
The visit by Lebanese President Jozef Maïlaoun to Washington holds significant importance, especially as it comes at a time when the map of regional influence is being redrawn and the impacts of international conflicts on Lebanon are becoming clearer. Although it did not lead to a major shift in U.S. policy towards Lebanon, it opened discussions about Lebanon's potential role in the coming phase, with U.S. support for state institutions and the army, conditioned on the necessity of establishing the state's authority, ending Israeli occupation, and monopoly over weapons. President Trump also expressed openness to engaging with Hezbollah if President Maïlaoun requests it, which indicates that Washington has not closed all channels of communication. However, engagement with the U.S. remains dependent on achieving stability, ceasing fire, halting Israeli expansion, while Hezbollah endeavors to maintain its stance against transforming the issue of weapons.
