Rubio reaffirms US support for Lebanon’s stability, sovereignty, and independence

Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun held a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during which they discussed the general situation in Lebanon and the wider region, as well as recent developments.

During the call, Aoun stressed the need to exert all possible efforts to reach a ceasefire, saying it represents the essential entry point for any further steps and a necessary pathway to create conditions for addressing pending issues and files.

For his part, Rubio reaffirmed the U.S. administration’s commitment to continuing efforts to solidify the outcomes of previous Washington meetings.

He also reiterated support for Lebanon’s stability, independence, and sovereignty over its entire territory, as well as its full and natural right to determine its own future.
