The U.S. Embassy in Beirut said in a statement Saturday marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence that “it is with great pride that [Washington] stands with the people of Lebanon as they forge a brighter future.”
“This year, as America commemorates 250 years of independence, we celebrate not only the founding principles that define us, but also the enduring friendships that have shaped our nation’s story,” the embassy said in a statement posted on X.
“It is with great pride that we stand with the people of Lebanon as they forge a brighter future, one of peace, prosperity and promise long overdue,” the statement added.
Almost four months after the resumption of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, Beirut and Tel Aviv reached a framework agreement in Washington last week despite Hezbollah’s opposition.
