Lebanon Cannot Afford to Wait to Disarm Hezbollah
This was not the first time a Lebanese official had visited the White House and received support. But it was the first time that a president with the will and capacity to ensure Lebanon’s sovereignty had visited the White House. At the same time, Tuesday’s meeting between Joseph Aoun and President Donald Trump came against the backdrop of a US president having the courage and willingness to address Iran’s evil role in the region, facing it head-on, for the first time. So, beyond the positive relationship between the two presidents and Aoun being able to “have anything he wants,” there is a great window of opportunity for Lebanon here.

Sisi Makes First Visit to Iraq by Egyptian Leader in Decades
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi arrived in Baghdad on Sunday, becoming the first Egyptian head of state to travel to Iraq since former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, rupturing diplomatic ties between the two countries.
