President Trump met Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House on 21 July and said the US would 'help' Lebanon, saying Israel was 'in the process' of withdrawing and 'redeploying', Al Jazeera reported. Aoun welcomed the US-brokered framework, said it aimed at 'ending the state of hostility between Lebanon and Israel forever' and said the army must be the sole armed force. Trump again suggested Syria could act against Hezbollah, which Syria has rejected, and announced that US airlines may fly directly to Lebanon. Al Jazeera reported Israel had not pulled back from any area it occupied since March.
