Lebanonâs Joseph Aoun is learning the limits of US influence over Israel | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited the White House in July, he told US President Donald Trump of the âurgent need for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territoryâ, describing it as âan essential step to consolidate stability and enable the Lebanese state to extend its full sovereignty exclusively through its own forcesâ. Mr Aounâs remarks affirmed the extent to which he was relying on US pressure to persuade the Israelis to make concessions in Lebanon, and ultimately
Hezbollahâs surrender of Ali Al Taher has cost it legitimacy in Lebanon | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 4, Israel announced that it had gained effective control of Ali Al Taher ridge, which overlooks the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh. This came as a surprise, since many observers had expected a major battle for control of the heights, which housed an extensive tunnel network and allegedly an operational command centre for Hezbollah.

Read excerpt
In his meeting last week with President Donald Trump, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun went out of his way to defend Lebanonâs speaker of parliament, Nabih Berri. Mr Aoun underlined that âBerri is a man of stateâ from southern Lebanon, and he understood the magnitude of the destruction there.
