What is the background to the visit to the United States, General Ibrahim?

Why did a US diplomatic delegation visit Major General Ibrahim?

The visit of the US diplomatic delegation to the Director General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, occupied an advanced area of ​​internal follow-ups, especially since this visit was surrounded on more than one internal level by many questions about its purpose and its significance in this particular moment.

And if Major General Ibrahim approaches this visit at its normal and natural size, and lists it as a continuation of his recent visit to the United States and the conversations he had with US officials on more than one joint security file between the two countries. , then a series of observations about this American initiative are recorded at this time:

First, the visit of the US delegation, which includes diplomats from the US State Department, emerged as a direct US response to all the leaks regarding instructions from some members of the US Congress to include the name of the general. Ibrahim on the sanctions list, for reasons that are not related to reality.

Second, this visit reflects a renewed American confidence in Major General Ibrahim’s position and affairs, and gave a clear indication of the United States’ appreciation for the role he plays in managing many of the security files, whether they refer to Americans or others. Therefore, it comes as a continuation of the high praise he received in Washington from more than one American official for his expertise in handling files of any kind, as well as for the accomplishments he has made, which raised the general recognition of the Lebanese, Arabic and international levels.

Thirdly, it refutes the entire disruptive trend that accompanied Major General Ibrahim’s visit to the United States, by some predators in Washington, who seem to have resented the homage to General Ibrahim in the United States and are now known, and who unfortunately offend their homeland, and seek with their excessive talk to sabotage Lebanon’s interest, and frustrating all efforts made by the Major General to address a series of sensitive and thorny security and non-security issues that he is handling, only from a purely national point of view, independent of any political considerations, in the interest of Lebanon. Ibrahim has always emphasized his behavior in this direction, whatever difficulties he may face.

It should be noted, in this context, that what was leaked about the preparations to impose sanctions on the Director General of General Security did not change his convictions, on the contrary, it increased his enthusiasm and greater enthusiasm to continue playing his role in the same way, with with respect to any expedient, taking into account the first consideration of the interest of Lebanon, as well as the interest of anyone. Friendly country.
