Lebanon’s president urges US solidarity as Israeli troops occupy south

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called on the United States to support Lebanon amid ongoing tensions following a US-backed agreement with Israel aimed at ending hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. The proposed deal includes the disarmament of Hezbollah, a phased Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, and the deployment of the Lebanese military into those regions. However, Hezbollah has rejected the agreement, citing the lack of a clear timeline for Israeli forces' departure. In a message coinciding with the U.S.'s 250th anniversary of independence, Aoun emphasized the importance of U.S. solidarity with Lebanon's institutions and people. The U.S. Embassy in Lebanon also expressed support for the nation's efforts toward peace and stability.
