W460

U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein on Thursday told Al-Arabiya English that electing a president is "a great day for Lebanon" and a step toward peace, security and stability, shortly after General Joseph Aoun was elected as the country’s new president.

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut for its part said Ambassador Lisa Johnson congratulates Aoun on his election.

“We deeply value our long-standing partnership with Lebanon and are committed to working closely with President Aoun as he begins his efforts to unite the country, implement reforms and secure a prosperous future for Lebanon,” the Embassy said in a post on the X platform.

THANK YOU AMERICA.
Thank you for the US Government to fund 100M to the Lebanese Army by redirecting those funds from Egypt or Israel.

You know what your problem is ? You are a rat ungrateful farm boys.
You do not want the Saudis or gulf, You do not want American money, but if it was an Iranian luggage full of money to Hezbollah then it's welcomed and cannot be revealed or inspected at the Airport.

ANY $ coming to support the LAF is appreciated. You are not getting $ from Iran because it's going directly to the militia that is the root cause of the problem in the country, in other words you can't teach stupid. Now, you want Billions from America and Saudis, then it goes directly to the ARMY and not the current government that you control so that you can steal and send to Majless Al Jnoub.
