The top envoy of Trump’s administration in the Middle East was on Saturday in Lebanon in the midst of American pressure on Earth to break up in Hezbellah and as a tension with Israel in despite a Sose-pitching.

Morgan Ortagus, Deputy President Trump’s envoy, met with senior officials after the hits in the last two weeks threatened a ceasefire that came into force in November.

The Lebanese government was trying to rebuild the country due to the devastating war between Israel and Hezbollah, in which about 4,000 people were killed in Lebanon and approximately one million displaced. Hezbollah, a militant group supported by Iranian, which has long been the dominant force in Lebanon, is difficult to weakened in the war but still has a significant influence.

On Saturday morning, Mrs. Ortagus met with the new president of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, to discuss questions that include the situation in South Lebanon, Mr. Aoun’s office statement said. Under the coercion, the Lebanese army should take over the duty in the south of the country, where Hezbollah has long been deeply rooted.

Last week, the militants fired rockets in Israel, which encouraged Israeli forces to bombard the bejruth periphery, the capital and southern Lebanon. Israel later hit the area south of Beirut – known as Dahiya – in what he said was targeted at Hezbollah’s officer, raising additional fears that the truce could fall apart.

Hezbollah denied any connection to the rocket fire. Neither Israel nor Hezbollah showed an appetite to return to the whole war. The interruption of the fire is still holding on, at least for now, despite the tensions.

Mrs. Ortagus and Mr. Aoun also talked about the current financial overhaul of the new Lebanese government, according to a Lebanese statement. Lebanese officials hope that effort will help in introducing Increased foreign help – including the United States – for the renewal of the country.

The overall damage and economic loss of war is estimated at $ 14 billion, and Lebanon needs $ 11 billion to renovate, the World Bank said last month, making a conflict to the most widespread in the country since the Long Civil War, which ended in 1990.

Experts say that the amount of international aid is likely to depend on whether the Lebanese government can determine its control over the earth, including the disarming Hezbollah. Before the war, the armed group was so powerful that it was generally considered a state in the country.
