Washington denies Hezbollah funding reports
The U.S. State Department has affirmed that the administration is committed to continuing work within the trilateral framework involving Lebanon and Israel, with the goal of achieving peace and stability in the region. The spokesperson for the department discussed the progress of the talks between Lebanon and Israel, noting that they have reached levels of engagement not seen in decades, with ongoing technical communication and U.S. support for the implementation of understandings. He emphasized that Washington supports the disarmament of Hezbollah as part of efforts to stabilize Lebanon, and that it continues to engage with its Gulf and European partners to gather funding for the reconstruction of the affected areas in the south, linking this to the necessity of disarming the party, which is seen as an obstacle to achieving peace. Additionally, Begot clarified that U.S. support for the Lebanese Army includes financial and security assistance to enhance the sovereignty of the state, and that the administration rejects targeting Lebanese diplomacy and warns against obstructing peace efforts.
