More failure of USA foreign policy under Trump.

Lebanon has always been a friend to the USA. We were Lebanon's strongest ally for decades. I find this alarming. Hezbollah is known to have residence in Lebanon. They were able to increase their military prowess during the time they were cut off from Iran by Daesh. This is a worry if the USA still cares about the people of Lebanon. No matter how one looks at this it is not good news.

When it comes to money, Trump doesn't need the State Department or the Department of Commerce, it only needs Jared.

The meeting in Bahrain is another money project by Kushner. Where the family this time?

Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil (click here) announces that his country will not participate in the US-led economic peace summit in Bahrain later this month.

Bassil says that Beirut will not be attending because the Palestinians will not be there. Moreover, he says that not enough information has been given about the plan for them to play along.

However, it is not clear if the US invited Lebanon to participate.

It is understandable that Lebanon would have strong opposition to any economic conference by the USA. The Palestinians are losing ground in international status as they lose more and more ground in the West Bank. These are all actions that continue to change Israeli borders.

Ramallah/Amman - A U.S. envoy’s comments (click here) on Israel having the right to annex at least parts of the occupied West Bank show “extremists” are involved in White House policy on the issue, Palestinian leaders said over the weekend.

In a responding statement to U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman’s comments in a New York Times interview, a Palestinian government spokesperson said some leading U.S. policy on the issue were “extremists” lacking in “political maturity.” The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said it was looking into filing a complaint with the International Criminal Court on the issue.
