U.S. Renews Commitment to Provide Military Assistance to Lebanon
|
[AnNahar] The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) chief General Lloyd J. Austin III visited Beirut on Saturday to renew Washington's commitment to provide military aid to Leb, the U.S. Embassy announced.
The General met with Prime Minister Tammam Salam and Lebanese Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji, the U.S. mission said in a blurb.
"Austin reiterated the confidence of the United States in the capabilities" of the Lebanese army, it stated.
"The United States will continue to support the army in its role as the sole legitimate defender of Leb," the embassy quoted him as saying.
The visiting general renewed Washington's commitment to provide Leb with "top-quality weapons, equipment, and training so that the Lebanese state can exercise its sovereign authority on the border and throughout the country, in accordance with U.N. Security Council resolutions 1559 and 1701," the statement added.
| How much of that will make its way into Hizb'allah hands? |
