Ambassador Connelly Meets with Former President Amin Gemayel
July 30, 2013
U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Maura Connelly met with former President and Kataeb Party leader Amin Gemayel today to discuss the political and security situation in Lebanon, as well as other regional issues.
Ambassador Connelly said that government formation is all the more important given the decision by Parliament to prolong its mandate. She noted U.S. concerns that Lebanon's stability is being challenged by multiple factors, including spillover effects from Syria and a lack of internal consensus in favor of maintaining constitutional norms.
She renewed the commitment of the United States to a stable, sovereign and independent Lebanon.
