During a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said there are 'well-built plans' to dismantle Hezbollah, and predicted that many more countries will join the Abraham Accords soon, according to Channel 14 reports.
President Donald Trump, meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House on Tuesday evening, said that 'well-built plans' exist to handle the dismantling of Hezbollah, according to Channel 14. He also predicted that 'many more Abraham Accords' will be signed soon. The remarks build on an earlier statement from the same meeting, reported by The Zioneer at 18:22 Jerusalem, in which Trump said more countries would join the Accords.
Trump's focus on Hezbollah dismantlement marks a notable shift from his previous comments on the Lebanon front. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump earlier this month criticized Israel's military campaign in Lebanon and suggested Syria should handle Hezbollah. The new wording suggests a willingness to engage diplomatically on the issue.
No specifics of the 'well-built plans' were disclosed, and the claim remains unverified. The meeting between Trump and Aoun is ongoing, and further statements are expected.
