Ambassador Riad Tabbara noted that the US policy toward Lebanon stems from its interest in not collapsing.
The former Lebanese ambassador to Washington, Dr. Riad Tabbara, saw that there will be no change in the new US policy towards Lebanon, and that it is clear that he will continue to help, even if the aid is for the people and not for the Lebanese government.
Tabbara said in an exclusive interview with “Sputnik”, “The American calls for an acceleration of the formation of the government, and the US policy towards Lebanon is derived from its own interest, and its interest is that Lebanon does not collapse, because the collapse has consequences for American policy itself, first of all the demarcation of maritime borders in which they are very interested in it. “To sign an agreement of this type, there must be a government, and I believe that the collapse of the Lebanon means that it will result in a war with Israel and the Americans are interested in focusing on the peace process, so I don’t think American policy is going to change. These are the broad lines of American policy.
He added: “The United States of America is considered part of the French initiative, the French warhead, and the attacking power is America, which means it has the ability to impose effective sanctions, and they are demanding the formation of a government to deal with to this, and I think that all the French and American effort is not to collapse Lebanon because France is also interested that Lebanon does not collapse, and because we have two million refugees, if Lebanon collapses, they will go to Europe, and this has been the European fear for a long time. France considers itself a tender and tender mother and therefore works to prevent the collapse of Lebanon. “
Tabbara indicated that the recent US sanctions against the two ministers, Ali Hassan Khalil and Youssef Fenianos, were going to boost the course of the maritime border demarcation negotiations, because after the sanctions, the negotiations began directly.
He remarked that “the sanctions are put on the table and will be used if there is any complication that the sanctions will be useful to solve, and that they will be decided for a specific reason and time. Therefore, nobody knows if they will be” to impose new punishments on people. This matter is decided by the Ministries of Finance and Foreign Relations. “
