Today, as Lebanon faces growing economic, political, and security challenges, I especially appreciate the Defense Department’s close partnership with the LAF. “This partnership is important to our shared interest in countering those who promote sectarianism, violence, and terror in an important region. “I also expressed to General Aoun my expectation that the LAF will remain firmly on the side of Lebanon’s people as it seeks to provide security and secure Lebanon’s sovereignty, consistent with UN Security Council resolutions 1559 and 1701.” ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T20:30:49Z
