The request was made during a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, who congratulated Aoun on the signing of the agreement reached between Beirut and Tel Aviv, the Lebanese Presidency reported.

According to the official statement, the Lebanese president expressed his hope that the United States will help prevent violations of the pact and guarantee compliance with all commitments made, particularly by pressuring Israel to complete its withdrawal from the occupied territories in southern Lebanon and facilitate the deployment of the Lebanese Army to the international border.

The framework agreement, signed de under US auspices after the fifth round of negotiations between Beirut and Tel Aviv, envisions a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from areas in southern Lebanon, the deployment of the Lebanese army in those areas, and the disarmament of non-state armed groups.

While Lebanese authorities consider the pact a step toward regaining national sovereignty, Hezbollah rejected it, arguing that it conditions the Israeli withdrawal on its disarmament—a stance that has sparked protests by the movement’s supporters in Beirut.
