Speaking after the meeting, Issa said the United States was interested in “standing alongside Lebanon” and helping it achieve full sovereignty, adding that his positions were closely aligned with those of the grand mufti.

“We spoke about the future of Lebanon and the importance of coexistence,” Issa said. “I told him that the United States stands with the Lebanese people and wants Lebanon to be a safe and independent country.”
