US envoy calls Lebanon a ‘failed state’, would support ‘more aggressive’ Israeli stance
The US’s special envoy for Syria has called Lebanon “a failed state” in remarks underscoring Washington’s frustration with Beirut’s “paralysed government,” even as Syria inches towards closer ties with the United States.
Speaking at the Manama Dialogue summit in Bahrain, Tom Barrack hailed the developments in Syria after the downfall of leader Bashar al-Assad in December. He confirmed that Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is expected to visit Washington on November 10, the first such visit by a Syrian president since the country’s independence in 1946.
Barrack also said that Syria is expected to join the US-led anti–ISIL (ISIS) group coalition, describing it as “a big step”, as well as “remarkable.” The coalition includes some 80 countries working to prevent the resurgence of ISIL.
As for Lebanon, Barrack pointedly said it was the only state in the region “not jumping in line” with the new Middle East realignments. “The state is Hezbollah,” he said, noting that, in a country where basic services like electricity and water are chronically unreliable, the Iran-backed group provides for its supporters and fighters in ways the Lebanese state cannot.
“It is really up to the Lebanese. America is not going to get deeper involved in the situation with a foreign terrorist organisation and a failed state dictating the pace and asking for more resources and more money and more help,” he said.
Barrack added that the US would not intervene in regional disputes, but would support its ally, Israel, “if Israel becomes more aggressive toward Lebanon”.
You were supposed to guarantee the ceasefire in Lebanon, yet Israel continues to bomb Southern Lebanon daily, prevents reconstruction and the Lebanese Army from setting up in Southern Lebanon.
Lebanon is trying but doesn't get the help it needs to expand their military control (cause Israel doesn't want that to happen) and Hezbollah doesn't want to disarm as long as Israel keeps attacking (which is exactly what Israel wants as an excuse to keep attacking)
USA is the failed state here.
