Technically this is not true at all, throughout history it was seen by the USA as intellectual property and soft power, back since the days of the Othoman empire.
Back in WW1, Wilson refused to announce hostiles towards the Othomans to ensure the safety of the University, etc. https://t.co/V6UBppv27a

#AUB is a private employer. It is not the US or Lebanese government. No role in setting fiscal or monetary policy. The #Lebanese should put blame where it belongs: The Lebanese political system. #فضلو_خوري #الجامعة_الاميركية #لبنان #Lebanon #AUBMC
There is a detailed story of why that happened and what the USA aimed regarding its institutes in Lebanon and Syria in this book.
The book is recommended, it teaches a lot. https://t.co/JnKlD4HfIx

And I wonder what kind of "private" educational institute gets millions of USAID and adheres to US State Department orders.

PM Hassan Diab from Dimane: I discussed with Patriarch Rahi national affairs, especially the social, economic and living situations
Diab: Patriarch Rahi gave his advice on a national dimension, and we always listen to his advice to benefit from it. 1/2 https://t.co/ZUlhQ9USes

Diab: Talking about "Hezbollah's government" has become like a "broken useless CD", and the issue of neutrality is political par excellence; neutrality needs dialogue by political parties and more explanation. 2/2

Late last April, despite the lack of approval of the Lebanese army, the UNIFIL forces in the south conducted an experiment with a drone over the French site in "Deir Kifa".
The drone, owned specifically by the French force, is American-made and is used for military purposes. https://t.co/KPEqJttQAe

Somehow, the report indicates that they tested the FLIR manufactured Black Hornet 3 drone.
If true, they are probably aiming to use it undetected in areas where the UNIFIL restricted from entry. This will be a huge escalation. https://t.co/TUht5HlHKo

During his funeral S Nasrallah attacked Lebanese officials: Because Ghaleb is not of their flesh and blood, because all of those who Israel's hands killed in Lebanon do not belong to the corrupt and tyrants ...they are the protectors of the killers of the guardians of Lebanon. https://t.co/pqnefIFKfn
