Lebanese President defends Hezbollah during Pompeo meeting
[ALMASDARNEWS] Lebanese President General Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
...

told U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday that Hezbollah is a Lebanese party represented in parliament and government.

General Aoun told the visiting U.S. diplomat that Hezbollah’s presence in Leb stems from a popular base that denotes one of the main sects in the country.

"Maintaining national unity and civil peace is a priority for us," President Aoun told Secretary Pompeo during his meeting with him at the Baabda palace.

Aoun also solicited US support for Leb to secure the repatriation of the Syrian refugees to the safe areas in Syria, noting that Leb has hosted more than 1.5 million Syrians inside its territory and is no longer capable of bearing the repercussions of such displacement on all daily living-related sectors.

Aoun stressed that the arrangements for the return of refugees will continue in accordance with the mechanism set by the Lebanese General Security.

On the other hand, Aoun welcomed the United States’ assistance in the demarcation of the land border known as the "Blue Line," saying that "such an action strengthens security and stability in the south."

The head of state underlined Leb’s commitment to the implementation of U.N. Resolution 1701 to maintain stability along the southern border despite the ongoing Israeli violations by land, air, and sea.

Aoun thanked Minister Pompeo for his country’s assistance to the Lebanese Army, especially during the war of liberating the Beqaa Governorate from terrorist groups like the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...

I kinda lost track here. Is 1701 the resolution calling for the Juice to throw themselves into the Med or is it just generic Death To Israel?
