US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa said on Monday, after meeting President Joseph Aoun, that what happened yesterday "is a political message and that the United States "has decided not to allow the confrontation to expand further," according to a statement posted by the Lebanese Presidency. The remarks came after Israeli strikes on Beirut on Sunday.
He added that negotiations between Lebanon, Israel and the United States would continue in Washington, describing the Lebanese negotiating team as professional and stressing that diplomatic talks remain the preferred path to end the current crisis.
"We attach great importance to the Lebanese file, and President Donald Trump always speaks about Lebanon, and this is an important element that the Lebanese should take into consideration because the U.S. President follows the Lebanese file daily, especially since President Aoun has chosen negotiations," Issa stressed.
