Lebanon Gets US Response to Proposal Amid Optimism

A key Lebanese presidential committee met Tuesday at Baabda Palace to assess the latest U.S. feedback on a proposal authored by Tom Barrack and submitted to Lebanon earlier this week. According to local media reports, the session focused on evaluating Washington’s reaction to Lebanon’s detailed reply, which was formally delivered on Monday.

U.S. Response Encouraging but Requests Clarifications

Al-Jadeed TV cited official sources describing the U.S. reaction as largely constructive. The American response was said to welcome many of the elements outlined in Lebanon’s paper, while also seeking clarification on specific issues—particularly concerning proposed timelines and the practical steps surrounding arms-related matters. This focus signals that Lebanon has begun drafting operational plans to follow through on its commitments.

Washington has reportedly set a soft deadline, giving Lebanon until the end of the year to solidify these mechanisms. According to Al-Jadeed, this particular detail is expected to feature prominently in future discussions with Barrack once he returns to Beirut.

Dialogue Between Beirut and Washington Continues

The atmosphere surrounding the exchange remains cautiously optimistic. Official sources highlighted that Lebanon’s reply outlines a phased, coordinated approach to implementation—an aspect that appears to have been well-received by U.S. counterparts.

MTV also reported that the Lebanese document represents a comprehensive agreement supported across political lines within Lebanon. Sources expressed hope that Barrack will return from Israel with a favorable response that aligns with Beirut’s expectations and commitments.

Daily communications are ongoing between Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Tom Barrack, according to palace insiders. These discussions reflect the sensitive and high-stakes nature of the file, which is being closely monitored by both sides as it evolves.
