Israel Foreign Minister, Sa'ar: Unfortunately, Lebanon is a failed state, a state that is de facto under Iranian occupation through Hezbollah. But this also leads to a conclusion: Hezbollah is a common enemy of Israel and Lebanon. Just as it threatens Israel’s security, it harms Lebanon’s sovereignty and threatens its future. We do not have any serious disagreements with Lebanon. There are a few minor border disputes that can be solved. The obstacle to peace and normalization between the countries is one: Hezbollah.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Trump and Lebanon: President Trump expressed his displeasure with what is currently happening in Lebanon and was looking for ways to stop the war in Lebanon. He then said that there could be a role for Syria in Lebanon in the search for a security solution. The statement was interpreted as if Syrian forces would enter Lebanon the next morning, and that is not what was meant. From President Trump’s statement, the answer is that he was expressing frustration with what is happening in Lebanon and looking for other solutions, and that there could be a positive role for Syria through the Lebanese state and Lebanese institutions.

US envoy to the Middle East Tom Barrack sparked outrage in Lebanon after insulting and dehumanising a journalist during a conference, telling the audience to “act civilised and not be animalistic.” His remarks were widely seen—especially by Lebanese and Arabs—as an insult to the entire region. On social media, many condemned what they described as arrogant American disdain, calling it an example of white, colonial racism. Many protested, forcing Barrack to cancel a planned tour of southern Lebanon. The Lebanese Press Syndicate also condemned the “inappropriate treatment” of journalists and demanded an apology from Barrack and the US State Department.
