US lifts Lebanon flight ban
The United States has lifted the over 40-year-old ban on commercial flights between Washington and Beirut, in a symbolic move aimed at boosting confidence in the new Lebanese government and supporting its efforts to rebuild the country's economy and stability. This decision, announced concurrently with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's visit to the White House, reflects the Trump administration's readiness to reward progress made in an agreement with Israel under U.S. mediation. It also indicates an American openness to supporting Lebanese institutions and reducing Hezbollah's influence. Although the resumption of new flights remains unlikely in the near future, the decision carries significant political and economic implications, along with hopes of fostering cooperation and stability in Lebanon.
