US Remarks on Lebanon's Performance... and More Pressure?

US Ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz is due to arrive in Lebanon within hours, where he will meet Lebanese officials and present the American proposal for the post-UNIFIL phase and the shape of the force that will succeed it, according to information from "Nidaa al-Watan". The US position continues to reject an extension of UNIFIL's mandate, and Waltz may also address the stalled direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, while Washington retains many remarks on the Lebanese authorities' performance regarding Hezbollah's weapons file and is expected to intensify pressure on them to turn promises into concrete actions.
