Washington is trying to force Lebanon to negotiate with the Zionist regime

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: Lebanese sources have reported that Washington is trying to push Beirut towards dialogue with the Zionist regime by intensifying political pressure. However, Lebanese officials emphasize that Lebanon's principled position towards Tel Aviv has not changed, and the United States has also told Arab leaders and Lebanese officials that it is unable to force Israel to stop its attacks.

 

Despite the rapid developments in the field of tensions between Lebanon and the Zionist regime and the increase in the regime's aggression, evidence shows that Beirut's position remains unchanged. After the escalation of the Zionist regime’s aggression on Lebanese soil, including the entry of the occupying forces into the town of Blida in southern Lebanon and the targeting of the town’s municipal building, which resulted in the martyrdom of one of its employees, American and Israeli officials thought that these actions would change the position of Lebanon and Hezbollah and force them to accept direct political negotiations; but this did not happen.

 

The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported, citing informed sources, that after several Arab countries asked the United States to pressure the Zionist regime to stop the aggression, the Americans have explicitly stated that they are unable to exert more pressure on Israel.

 

These sources added that it has become completely clear to Arab officials that the United States is moving in the direction of Israel’s goals and desires; whether in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, or the entire region. Although the ceasefire in Gaza was established according to the plan of US President Donald Trump, Washington supports its violation and the continuation of the Zionist regime’s aggression on the Gaza Strip.

 

Meanwhile, the US has increased its pressure on Arab countries that have not yet signed a formal agreement to normalize relations with the Zionist regime to join this process as soon as possible.

 

According to Lebanese sources, Trump, tired of repeatedly reviewing Middle East files, plans to appoint a special official to coordinate the activities of his envoys in the region. He has asked people such as Steve Whittaker, Tom Barak and Morgan Ortagus to submit a detailed report on their activities by the middle of next month.

 

According to reports, Trump has emphasized that he will discuss these issues with his “friends in the region”, friends that include Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE has also repeatedly announced its readiness to cooperate within the framework of the US security program in the region, and direct contacts have been established between Washington and Abu Dhabi officials to this end.

 

Informed sources have concluded that the issue of Lebanon is also among the files that Trump intends to review, but as long as Beirut refuses to accept direct political negotiations with Israel, Washington will not be willing to pressure Tel Aviv to stop its attacks on Lebanon.
