Ms. Ortagus said that Lebanon\u2019s leaders were committed to ensuring that the Iran-backed militia \u201cis not a part of this government in any form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Her remarks came after she met with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/09\/world\/middleeast\/lebanon-politics-president-parliament-vote.html\" title=\"\">Lebanon\u2019s new president, Joseph Aoun<\/a>, who later appeared to contradict her suggestion. In a statement, his office said that some of Ms. Ortagus\u2019s comments expressed her \u201cpersonal viewpoint,\u201d without elaborating on which ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lebanon\u2019s new leadership will most likely need to strike a balance with Hezbollah, which has long been the country\u2019s dominant political force, but has been battered by a 14-month war with Israel. Washington has sought to capitalize on Hezbollah\u2019s weakened standing in recent weeks by pressuring Lebanese officials to undermine its political stranglehold, but the group still holds significant power in Parliament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The visit by Ms. Ortagus, a former State Department spokeswoman, was the first by a senior U.S. official since Mr. Trump took office, providing some of the earliest public indications of what the new U.S. administration\u2019s objectives look like in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Aoun was elected president last month, after years of political gridlock, and he has designated a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/13\/world\/middleeast\/lebanon-nawaf-salam-prime-minister.html\" title=\"\">new prime minister<\/a>, Nawaf Salam, to form a government. That is seen as crucial step to restoring stability to Lebanon after years of crisis, but the effort has so far been slow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Lebanon, cabinet posts have traditionally been divided up along sectarian lines under a decades-old power sharing agreement among 18 religious groups. The new government would need a vote of confidence from Lebanon\u2019s 128-member Parliament, where Hezbollah and its allies hold a significant number of seats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hezbollah\u2019s continued sway would put the new government in a bind. Lebanon is emerging from its deadliest war in decades and desperately needs foreign funding to rebuild, but Western governments are loath to send aid to a government with unfettered Hezbollah influence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Facing political pressure from Hezbollah and the group\u2019s allies, Mr. Salam has so far allowed them to select four out of five Shiite Muslim ministers in his new cabinet \u2014 a likely cause for alarm in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The selection of Mr. Salam, who is seen as a reformist, marked a blow to Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group. Political opponents had hoped that the Shiite nominations to Mr. Salam\u2019s new government \u2014 as mandated under the country\u2019s sectarian power-sharing agreement \u2014 would be for people without ties to Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf there are any Hezbollah operatives that are appointed to key positions in the new government, it will complicate if not destroy any support from the new Trump administration,\u201d said Ed Gabriel, president of the American Task Force on Lebanon, a nonprofit aimed at strengthening ties between the United States and Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt will be a wrench in the works,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The mounting diplomatic pressure comes at a delicate time for the tiny Mediterranean nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under the terms of a 60-day <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/27\/world\/middleeast\/israel-lebanon-ceasefire.html\" title=\"\">cease-fire<\/a> that ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah in November, Israeli troops were supposed to have withdrawn by now from Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But they have not done so, and Israeli forces <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/26\/world\/middleeast\/lebanon-gaza-cease-fires.html\" title=\"\">killed two dozen people<\/a> last month, according to Lebanese officials, as thousands of people attempted to return to their homes near the border when the cease-fire expired. The Israeli military said that it had fired \u201cwarning shots in order to eliminate threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With the truce deal now extended until Feb. 18, many in Lebanon now fear the prospect of a sustained Israeli occupation of the country\u2019s south. During the news conference on Friday, Ms. Ortagus said that the U.S. was committed to the new cease-fire deadline and that Israeli troops were expected to withdraw by then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But with tensions rising, the Israeli military carried out a new series of airstrikes overnight deep inside Lebanese territory. The military said it had targeted Hezbollah military sites and accused the group of breaking the terms of the cease-fire agreement. Both sides have repeatedly accused each other of violating the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lebanon\u2019s state-run news agency reported attacks in southern and eastern Lebanon, which appeared to be some of the most intense since the war ended in November. There were no immediate reports of casualties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Fighting also continued on Friday along the Lebanese-Syrian border, where skirmishes erupted a day earlier between Syrian forces and armed gunmen in Lebanon. Syria\u2019s new rebel authorities said they were attempting to clamp down on cross-border smuggling networks, according to Syria\u2019s state news agency, SANA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since President Bashar al-Assad of Syria was toppled in December, Lebanon has feared further instability spilling across its borders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
