Report: US to seek solution in Lebanon after Gaza agreement

The Lebanese file will be activated in the near future and will be the next file after Gaza, Western diplomatic sources said.

The sources added, in remarks to al-Binaa newspaper, that “the military, security and political repercussions of the Gaza agreement will not only affect Lebanon but rather the entire region.”

“U.S. diplomacy will work on speeding up the solution in Lebanon through intensive visits by U.S. envoys,” the sources said, adding that “U.S. envoy Morgan Ortagus might visit Lebanon after the new U.S. ambassador to Lebanon, Michel Issa, assumes his diplomatic mission.”

“Washington will seek to reactivate the Mechanism’s work and to press all parties to control the border and implement the November 27 ceasefire agreement,” the sources added.
