PRESS RELEASE – […] Today, the Governments of Israel and Lebanon made a bold decision to agree to a framework that builds a realistic path out of endless conflict. This agreement establishes a clear and structured process to restore Lebanon’s sovereignty, disarm Hizballah and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure, and enable Israel to return to its borders once that threat to its citizens is removed. It also creates a trilateral Military Coordination Group for Lebanon (MCG4L), facilitated by the United States, allowing the two sides to implement this Framework. For Lebanon, this Framework provides a genuine pathway out of a long crisis. For Israel, it creates a verifiable path to removing the persistent threat on its northern border.
The United States commends the courage of the two sovereign governments for taking this step to break the cycle of violence once and for all. The United States will remain fully engaged and commit significant resources, including an immediate $100 million in humanitarian assistance in coordination with the U.N.
“The United States also reaffirms its intent to improve the capability and capacity of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to more effectively establish sovereignty throughout Lebanese territory. To that end, the Department of War is prepared to reimburse the LAF with more than $30 million under existing authorities and appropriations to support the President’s vision for an enduring peace in Lebanon.
We intend to work closely with our regional partners to implement this Framework and deliver a brighter, more secure future for Israel, Lebanon, and the whole Middle East.” (read more)
Everybody looks like they are at a funeral.
They are. Hezbollah are dead men walking. Just like Hamas. They both lost their benefactor.
The mindset of terrorists generally involves killing as many people possible on their way out. Suicide bombers come to mind.
They do. Sure don’t look thrilled to be getting out of a “crisis”… maybe they are losing big kickbacks?
Looks like a funeral. My first thoughts as well.
Perhaps their understanding of the hard work to come is overclouding the moment.
May God Almighty bring about His vision for these neighbors.
Hezbollah (Hizballah) is IRAN.
Laundering 100 million payoff through the UN?
This is good news.
It’ll be a steep up-hill fight, but it’ll at least be on a verifiable path and it puts the IRGC and their bloody terrorist proxy hizballah squarely in the crosshairs.
And Israel will win.
So how does this help reign in Hezbollah?
Lebanon will be strengthened to eliminate Hezbollah (who are losing their cash flow from Iran) who operate in Lebanon without permission from the elected Government (who have been too weak to kick them out). Now, with US help, Lebanon will secure their borders. And Israel will withdraw as this happens.
That leaves Lebanon to fight Hezbollah. Hezbollah won’t leave on their own accord.
A new world.
This will last about a week.
Another $100 million of tax payer money out the door.
If there’s a chance?
That’s a drop in the bucket compared to Somali fraud just in Minnesota alone.
Besides, what good is money if we allow the Red-Green Axis to succeed?
What good is money when your government pisses it out the window to the tune of 40 trillion dollars?
“For Lebanon, this Framework provides a genuine pathway out of a long crisis.”
I pray to our Lord that Lebanon grabs hold of this opportunity!
🙏
Little Marco continues to impress……
Good. Now let Lebanon and its soldiers do the dirty work of wiping out Hezbollah instead of our boys. I want to see the whole Middle East countries get off their asses and do what they should have done years ago.
Smash the Islamists back into the stone age and enjoy peace. Although I have read in my little black Book that these folks have been fighting forever, Good against evil, Christian versus Muslim, etc.
Reminds me of the dark and brain-washed white people in this country (not the working Black folks) who blame everybody else for their problems (except for the Democratic Party that created it) and demand reparations. Those screaming the most aren’t slaves and I, my parents, my grandparents and even my great grandparents weren’t slave owners. But facts don’t matter to these people.
Marco Rubio should definitely get the “SECRETARY OF STATE AND EVERY OTHER TITLE HE HOLDs” award. You could not pay me enough to do his job and I pray for him (and family) as well as every other cabinet member who is bringing the good fight, the MAGA fight to save our future generations from Islamic destruction.
Comments about the signers not looking very joyful are correct. These two countries have been in an arduous negotiation and I am sure they are tired.
SoS Rubio is becoming a real warrior of diplomacy and peace while committed to action if necessary. I am hoping that somehow he will be the next President of the United States. He has learned a lot from his experience as SoS and also by watching the boldness of action by President Trump. I also hope I am not wrong. Time will tell.
The successor to President Trump will have to be able keep everything achieved by President Trump and his great cabinet in place.
SoS Rubio has also handled multiple positions simultaneously and has never shown fatigue. Sound like someone else we know? While there is only one President Trump, SoS Rubio is definitely coming in a close second in my book. Always the gentleman but nowhere near weak.
