Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will reportedly visit Lebanon during the upcoming days.
According to al-Liwaa newspaper published on Friday, Dempsey will travel to Lebanon to discuss the latest developments in light of Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji's recent visit to the U.S. capital Washington.
Last week, Qahwaji attended a meeting for military leaders from more than 20 partner nations in the coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
However, a sharp debate emerged locally on whether Lebanon should enter the coalition and if its territories would be used to launch attacks on jihadists in neighboring country Syria.
John Allen, a retired four-star general and U.S. envoy to the coalition fighting Islamic State group, will also reportedly visit Lebanon as he tours the region at the head of a delegation.
The delegation will kick off its tour by traveling to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, Gulf countries.
