Lebanese army says sectarian claims about Pentagon delegation ‘have no basis’

The Lebanese Army Command has rejected reports circulating in media outlets and on social media regarding the sectarian composition of a Lebanese military delegation set to participate in talks at the Pentagon on May 29, 2026.

In a statement, the army said the claims concerning the sectarian distribution of officers within the delegation “have no connection to the principles of the military institution.”

The command stressed that the delegation, in all its composition, remains committed to national principles, adding that the officers assigned to the mission represent the country and are bound by the army’s doctrine. It further said members of the military institution implement leadership decisions based on their commitment to national duty.
