Conflitti · Israeli troops withdraw · ArchivioTrump Meets Lebanon's Aoun, Pledges Support as Israeli Troops WithdrawScritto 7 settembre 2026 alle ore 21:22 UTCGuardaTrascrizione0:00President Trump hosted Lebanese0:01President Joseph Aoun at the White House0:03today, the first Oval Office visit by a0:06Lebanese head of state in nearly 200:08years. Trump pledged increased US0:10support for Lebanon, calling it a very0:12badly treated place as Israeli forces0:14begin withdrawing from southern Lebanon0:16after weeks of war with Hezbollah. The0:18meeting lasted roughly an hour. Aoun0:20presented Trump with a written proposal0:22to decommission Hezbollah's arsenal, a0:24central demand from both Washington and0:26Israel. Trump said Israel is, quote, in0:29the process of pulling troops out of0:30southern Lebanon. The Lebanese army0:32began deploying in three pilot zone0:34villages, Frown, Srifa, and Za'tar0:36al-Gharbi. But the operation faced0:39immediate friction. Israeli forces fired0:41warning shots near Lebanese troops in0:43Za'tar al-Gharbi, underscoring how0:45fragile the security framework remains0:47on the ground. Secretary of State Marco0:49Rubio delivered a blunt message this0:51week that Lebanon will never be fully at0:53peace as long as Hezbollah's weapons0:55remain outside state control. Hezbollah0:57has publicly rejected any disarmament0:59effort. Trump offered to speak to1:01Hezbollah if Aoun requested it, though1:03no such meeting has been arranged. The1:06challenge is enormous. The war between1:08Israel and Hezbollah has displaced more1:10than 1,200,0001:12people from southern Lebanon. A $361:14million funding request for the Lebanese1:16armed forces is included in Trump's1:18FY2027 budget. And in a significant1:21shift, Trump announced he is directing1:23his administration to allow direct US1:25airline flights to Lebanon for the first1:27time since 1985, a move aimed at1:30signaling renewed engagement. President1:32Aoun's four-day visit to Washington1:34continues this week as the framework1:35faces its first real test on the ground,1:38whether the Lebanese army can hold the1:40pilot zones, and whether Hezbollah will1:42ultimately yield to disarmament.Leggi l’articoloCronologia della storiaHeyDexIl video breve ↗
