Lebanese lawmaker condemns US interference in domestic affairs
Lebanese Member of Parliament Ali Ammar, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, has issued a strong condemnation of the United States government, accusing it of blatant interference in Lebanon's internal affairs. Ammar characterized the US approach as a dangerous level of guardianship that violates Lebanese sovereignty and national decision-making.
Specific grievances cited include US interference in the judiciary, provocative official statements, and meetings held by the US Embassy in Akkar with certain officials and media figures. Ammar alleged these actions aim to incite internal strife and influence Lebanese domestic choices to serve Israeli interests. He called on the Lebanese authorities to take a firm, constitutional stand to protect the country's sovereignty and end such interventions.
