Lebanese president discusses South with Trump amid Hezbollah opposition
The article discusses Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's visit to Washington, the first for a Lebanese leader since 2009. The visit aims to discuss the implementation of the "Framework Agreement" with Israel, which seeks the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and the stabilization of a ceasefire. During the visit, a summit with President Trump is scheduled, and Lebanon's commitment to de-escalation is reaffirmed. However, Hezbollah and Amal Movement oppose the agreement, considering it as institutionalizing Israel's occupation of Lebanese territories and threatening the sovereignty of the state. The visit comes amid heightened Israeli tensions and concerns about Tel Aviv's possible non-compliance with understandings, as clashes and protests continue in Lebanon. The number of Lebanese casualties has increased since the escalation began.
