Wash says Lebanese envoy targeted politically
The U.S. State Department strongly condemned the referral of the legal complaint filed by a lawyer affiliated with Hezbollah against Lebanon's Ambassador to Washington, Nada Hamadeh Mouawad, to the Lebanese military judiciary. It described this action as an attempt at political targeting against diplomats representing Lebanese legitimacy. The Department affirmed that the case pertains to the ambassador's performance of her official duties and her participation in negotiations led by the United States between Lebanon and Israel. It considered that military courts threaten the country's resources and squander them by pursuing officials and diplomats working in the interest of Lebanon. The U.S. called for the abolition of politicized laws. America made an appeal to the Lebanese government to eliminate laws that enable political targeting, warning that such practices hinder negotiations and obstruct the role of the Lebanese state. It emphasized that Washington can no longer tolerate further political obstacles and interventions that weaken institutions.
