Barrack to reportedly visit Jumblat and apologize for Ortagus' behavior
U.S. special envoy for Syria Tom Barrack will visit former PSP leader Walid Jumblat after the latter was insulted by former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus.
"Crack is whack, Walid," Ortagus wrote on the X platform after Jumblat described her conditions as "unrealistic."
A report, published Friday on al-Jadeed, said that Barrack will apologize for Ortagus' behavior.
Barrack visited Lebanon on Thursday and warned Hezbollah against getting involved in the war between Iran and Israel.
Barrack is of Lebanese origins and is also the U.S. ambassador to Turkey. He has said that he will temporarily replace Morgan Ortagus as Washington's special envoy to Lebanon. During his first official visit to Lebanon on Thursday he met with President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
