The United States is pressing Lebanon to amend or repeal laws criminalizing contact with Israel, foremost the 1955 , following a complaint against Lebanon’s ambassador to Washington, Nada Hamade Moawad. According to a statement from the US Embassy, Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the issue with President Joseph Aoun on Thursday, described the law as impractical, and called for direct communication channels between the Lebanese Army and Israeli forces. Washington is also pressing for Hezbollah’s disarmament, reform of the military court, and financial and political measures. The government commissioner at the military court had dismissed the complaint against Moawad for lack of evidence.
