Lebanon
President Joseph Aoun has confirmed his attendance at White House talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, scheduled within three weeks, according to Lebanese presidential sources cited by Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa. However, the statement notably omitted any mention of a potential meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—a possibility raised by Netanyahu himself and repeatedly urged by Trump. The ambiguity reflects Lebanon's sensitive political landscape, where normalization with Israel remains a red line. Aoun's participation underscores Lebanon's engagement with Washington amid regional tensions, but the silence on Netanyahu signals caution. The upcoming talks are expected to focus on bilateral relations and broader Middle East dynamics, with Lebanon carefully navigating its stance.
Presidential sources told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa that President Joseph Aoun has confirmed his participation in talks with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, scheduled in less than three weeks, without addressing the possibility of a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — as the latter has suggested and as President Trump has requested on more than one occasion.
