Biden Donates $100 million to Lebanon at U.N.-backed Conference
American President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday, at the virtual conference held in support of Lebanon a humanitarian aid worth $100 million, on top of an amount of approximately $560 million that Washington has provided as a humanitarian aid over the past years.
The Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Amina Mohammed also spoke at the conference, urging Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati to form a government quickly and stressing that Lebanon is experiencing one of the most terrible crises at the economic, educational and infrastructure levels.
The Jordanian King Abdullah II also participated in the conference and said in his speech that “we must provide humanitarian, health and food aid,” highlighting the fact that Lebanon is also “hosting refugees.”
French President Emmanuel Macron had led the round of donor pledges with a promise of 100 million euros ($118 million) from France.
Macron aims to raise at least $350 million in emergency aid for the Lebanese in this U.N.-backed donor conference for Lebanon, which he is chairing over a video link-up with several world leaders.

Imagine that our enemy, as per Huzbullah, has donated 100 million dollar, while our friend, again according to Huzbullah, which is Iran, has destroyed Lebanon without donating a penny toward any cause. Isn't this oxymoron? Anyhow, don't take my second sentence seriously, as Iran, is our real enemy. I don't give a shit for Iran if it didn't put its nose into Lebanon. Iran is a banana country and has no meaning. Engrossingly, though, we have become tied to it for God knows why? Evidently, Iran uses "Muqawama" to destroy countries. Look at Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and one could see what I mean. Amazingly, though, the Shai of Lebanon have subscribed to Iran's involvement at the expense of Lebanon. Hence, my suggestion is shipping all of them to Iran, especially this nut head Hassan, and then, we wouldn't even talk about Iran. Who really cares about such a useless country?

Money that Michel Aoun and cronies will steal just like they stole the food countries gave after the 04/08/2020 mass murder.

God bless the Islamic Republic of Iran for not taking the bait and attending the U.N.-backed Conference for Lebanon. The Saudi-American-Israeli-Somali-Bengali-Hourani-Nepali-Bahraini-Emirati coalition was planning to use this superficial conference to pressure Iran into discussing its peaceful nuclear program. Thanks to our Shia resistance for alerting. the Islamic Republic and foiling their evil schemes.
Shea Shia Shea !!!
