(MENAFN) Tom Barrack, the US special envoy for Syria, arrived in Beirut on Sunday to conduct talks concerning bilateral relations and the latest regional developments. His visit comes at a critical time as Lebanon continues to suffer from worsening economic challenges and deepening political instability.

Reports from local media outlets indicate that Barrack’s trip may represent a fresh wave of American diplomatic involvement in Lebanon, a nation struggling with severe financial hardship and uncertain governance. This marks a potential shift in US policy, aimed at stabilizing the region amid ongoing tensions.

In a message posted on the social media platform X, Barrack emphasized the need for “peace and dialogue to prevail” in Syria, while warning of the dangers posed by “cycles of tribal vengeance.”

As of now, the US Embassy in Beirut has not issued any formal statement detailing the envoy’s agenda or the key meetings scheduled during his stay, leaving the full scope of his mission open to speculation.
