Lebanese Army Commander Opposes Deploying Troops Against Hezbollah, Fueling Tensions

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the American website Axios has reported that Lebanese Army Commander General Joseph Aoun resisted government attempts to deploy the army against Hezbollah, particularly in the context of the ongoing war. His stance has reportedly worsened tensions with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati and intensified pressure from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Washington on Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to dismiss him.

Axios further reported that the Lebanese government is experiencing profound disappointment due to what it perceives as neglect from the Donald Trump administration, suggesting that without active U.S. mediation, there is no pathway for peace negotiations.

A well-informed source speaking to Axios stated, “There is no attention from Trump regarding Lebanon. Nobody in Washington is responding to their calls.”
