In a move that has sparked international concern, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Shaibani has met with Lebanon's Speaker of the House, Nabih Berri, a longtime ally of the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah. The meeting comes as US President Donald Trump has called on Syria to disarm Hezbollah, a demand that has been met with skepticism by Damascus and its allies. The Syrian government has long been accused of providing military support to Hezbollah, which has been involved in the conflict in neighboring Lebanon and has been designated as a terrorist organization by the US and other Western countries. As tensions between the US and Syria continue to escalate, the meeting between al-Shaibani and Berri raises questions about the future of Syria's relationship with Hezbollah and the potential consequences for regional stability.
