Lebanese President Aoun Seeks Trump's Help to Pressure Israel for Full Withdrawal
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has traveled to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump, seeking his pressure on Israel to complete a full withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The visit comes amid internal tensions in Lebanon, where Hezbollah opposes direct talks with Israel and the government's disarmament plans. Israel currently occupies 60 villages in southern Lebanon, displacing 700,000 people. A pilot withdrawal program has begun in two zones, with Israeli forces leaving Sawtar al-Gharbia and Lebanese army units moving in. Aoun plans to present a written proposal for securing Hezbollah's weapons arsenal, believing only Trump has the influence to restore Lebanese sovereignty against both Iran and Israel. The US-brokered agreement envisions the Lebanese army disarming Hezbollah in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal.
