Senior director for counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka described Monday President Joseph Aoun as a "friend" who will help realize U.S. President Donald Trump's vision for peace in the Middle East.

"Today this leader is a friend and is positioned to help realize President Donald Trump's vision for peace in the Middle East under a new, broader Abraham Accords," Gorka posted on X.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met Monday with a U.S. treasury delegation in Beirut, headed by senior director for counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka, as Washington works to cut off Hezbollah's funding and Lebanon's government tries to disarm it.

Deputy director for counter-terrorism John Hurley had said after the delegation met President Joseph Aoun on Sunday that Lebanon can only be free, prosperous and secure if Hezbollah is fully disarmed and cut off from Iran's funding and control.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has said his government is not just working on disarming Hezbollah but is also working on reforms, yet disarmament is needed to attract investments.

In a televised interview aired on Sunday evening, Salam said the government is also unanimously committed to the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, ending the Israeli occupation and daily attacks, and releasing the Lebanese prisoners from Israeli jails.

President Joseph Aoun has told U.S. officials that Lebanon was tackling money laundering and the financing of terrorism, days after Washington imposed sanctions on three Hezbollah members.

The trio were accused of money laundering to fund Hezbollah, designated a terrorist organization by the United States and other Western powers.

One person was killed Monday in an Israeli drone strike that targeted his car on the Baysariyeh-Sarafand road in south Lebanon, putting the toll from Israeli strikes since Saturday at six.

Israeli airstrikes later targeted al-Qatrani, al-Mahmoudiyeh and al-Jarmaq in south Lebanon, a pickup truck in Hermel, and the Shaara region in the Bekaa.

Israel has warned the U.S. administration that Hezbollah is rehabilitating itself has also warned the Lebanese Army that if it does not act against Hezbollah, Israel’s attacks on Lebanon will increase, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation has reported.

Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed three people and wounded several more on Saturday, according to the Lebanese health ministry, with Israel claiming one of the attacks had hit arms smugglers from a group affiliated with Hezbollah.

The European Union on Saturday condemned Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and asked it to respect a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

A strong dispute has erupted within Hezbollah, particularly between the political faction that is close to Speaker Nabih Berri and the military faction that implements Iran’s decisions, the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported on Friday.

The Israeli Air Force, the military intelligence and the Israeli northern command have devised a joint attack plan with the aim of weakening Hezbollah and it can be implemented based on a political decision or if Hezbollah decided to respond to the Israeli attacks, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said.

“In Beirut, the Israeli army is still avoiding to target areas in which the organization is storing weapons in order not to undermine security there,” the daily added.
