The American Task Force on Lebanon (ATFL) celebrated a landmark moment with the successful conclusion of its gala, which brought together over 500 VIPs, including Lebanese Americans from across the United States, Lebanese officials, and bipartisan US officials representing Congress and the Administration. The event showcased the depth of support for ATFL’s mission and the growing recognition of the American Lebanese community’s role in advancing a strong US-Lebanon relationship.
The gala highlighted ATFL’s unique position as a credible, nonpartisan voice advocating for Lebanon’s sovereignty, stability, and prosperity — in full alignment with US foreign policy. ATFL remains committed to supporting Lebanon’s recovery through principled advocacy that reflects shared priorities with the US administration: the disarmament of all armed groups, the strengthening of state institutions, and the urgent implementation of economic and governance reforms in a country at peace with its neighbors.
“ATFL looks forward to the next phase of its work, and helping ensure that US policy continues to align with Lebanon’s long-term interests and that meaningful progress is achieved,” said ATFL President Ed Gabriel.
The gala also underscored ATFL’s proud role as a unifying platform — a tent under which Lebanese Americans of all backgrounds and perspectives, as well as friends of Lebanon, gather with a shared purpose. The diversity of attendees underscores ATFL’s longstanding belief that inclusive dialogue and principled engagement are the best paths forward.
ATFL welcomes the spirited discussions that reflect the dynamism and passion of the Lebanese people. Such differences are not a division, but a strength — echoing the resilience and vitality that define Lebanon and its diaspora.
