🚨 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: U.S. ENVOY REVEALS SECRET PEACE TALKS BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH, ISRAEL, SYRIA & LEBANON
He just met with Netanyahu, Al-Sharaa, Aoun, and Berri – arguably the 4 most consequential figures currently shaping the Middle East conflict.
Hezbollah, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel are locked in a dangerous moment – and Ambassador Tom Barrack, U.S. Special Envoy for Syria and close Trump ally, is the man trying to pull the region back from the edge.
This is @Ambassador Tom Barrack’s first extended interview since those explosive behind-the-scenes meetings.
He says everyone claims they want peace, but most are still trapped by tribal wounds, distrust, and ghosts of wars past.
In this no-notes conversation, Barrack breaks his silence on:
* Whether Hezbollah will disarm
* If Lebanon is quietly drifting toward civil war
* Whether Israel truly wants peace – or territorial expansion
* Iran’s role, the real risk of regime collapse in Syria, and why time is running out
He doesn’t dodge.
He answers everything – including his role in the now-infamous news conference mishap two days ago.
There’s no Plan B.
This is the plan.
