Morgan Ortagus’ provocative statements against Hezbollah at the Lebanese presidential palace.
According to the newsletter website, Morgan Ortagus, the US Deputy Special Representative for the Middle East, made provocative and interventionist statements against Hezbollah in Lebanon during her trip to Beirut.
After meeting with the new Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the Baabda Palace, she appeared before the media and, in a provocative stance on Lebanese soil, said: Israel defeated Hezbollah and we are grateful to them for this!
Ortagus continued, openly interfering in Lebanon’s internal affairs, stating: We emphasize Hezbollah’s non-participation in the new Lebanese government in any way!
Continuing her shameless statements, she added: America is committed to partnering with Lebanon and we have great hope for this issue, because we know that there are committed politicians who guarantee that in addition to eliminating corruption in Lebanon, Hezbollah’s influence in the affairs of this country will also end!
These statements by the deputy special envoy at the Lebanese presidential palace were made after a meeting with the country’s new president, Joseph Aoun, in a situation where the Lebanese government has not yet taken an official position on the matter.
