Controversial Lebanese Banker Praised for Zionist Ties Amid Lebanon-Israel Tensions

Antoun Sehnaoui, a prominent Lebanese banker, has found himself at the center of a controversy after being praised by former Trump administration official Morgan Ortagus for his Zionist ties and support for Israel. This has come even as Israel continues to attack Lebanon, further heightening tensions in the region.

Ortagus, who previously served as the spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, took to social media to laud Sehnaoui, describing him as a "committed Zionist" and a "good friend of Israel." This praise has drawn criticism from many in Lebanon, who see Sehnaoui's alleged pro-Israel stance as a betrayal of the country's longstanding position of opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
