US-Lebanon Diplomacy: Direct Talks with Israel, US Support Pledges
US President Trump met with Lebanese President Aoun, marking the first such visit since 2009, coinciding with US-mediated direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel. Trump pledged unspecified support to Lebanon and announced a directive for direct US commercial flights, though the feasibility and timeline for implementation are uncertain. Aoun seeks US intervention for an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, with the success of this initiative dependent on US mediation alignment with Israeli security requirements and Hezbollah's presence.
