The recent congratulations extended to President Trump by Lebanese political figures underscore a significant moment in U.S.-Lebanon relations. Samy Gemayel, leader of the Kataeb Party, expressed hope for renewed U.S. engagement, highlighting the pressing need for peace in Lebanon. This sentiment was echoed by Michel Moawad, who emphasized a collaborative future aimed at restoring Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Lebanese political parties such as the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb are actively working to counter Hezbollah’s influence, seeking support from the U.S. and the international community to implement U.N. resolutions aimed at disarming militias and ensuring the Lebanese Army’s exclusive role in national defense.

Meanwhile, Gebran Bassil from the Free Patriotic Movement acknowledged Trump’s letter to the Lebanese American community as an important opportunity for Lebanon. Despite his party’s historical ties with Hezbollah, Bassil’s recent announcements about ending this alliance may indicate a shift in political dynamics.

Comments made by independent MP Neemat Frem reflect optimism about changes in U.S. policy under Trump, especially with the potential involvement of Massad Boulos, who has personal connections to Trump. This highlights the prospect for a deeper understanding of Lebanon’s complexities within the U.S. administration.

As expectations rise among Lebanese Christian leaders regarding Trump’s commitment to peace, there remains an acknowledgment from figures like Cardinal Pietro Parolin that actualizing peace will require a significant effort and a thoughtful approach from the new administration. The future of U.S.-Lebanon relations appears poised for transformation, contingent upon strategic and collaborative efforts aimed at stabilizing Lebanon amidst ongoing regional challenges
