Lebanon is close to entering a critical political stage that places it on a crossroads in an open confrontation with the international and Arab societies.
This requires the government of President Nawaf Salam to make its decision today before tomorrow, with its comprehensive approval, and without hesitation, on the exclusivity of the weapon in the hands of the state, otherwise they will have an inclusive position that will not be in the interest of the country and enter it into an unprecedented siege, and he will not find those who solidarity with him with the retreat of his friends from his assistance, and the decline in international interest in him.
Asharq Al -Awsat learned from political sources that the discussions conducted by peace with French President Emmanuel Macron were not limited to Paris’s readiness to provide political support required to renew the interim international emergency forces operating in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL), but rather dealt with the reasons behind the stumbling of the application of the ceasefire that Lebanon has committed, in exchange for Israel’s failure to implement it.
The sources said that Macron, despite his solidarity with Lebanon, advised Salam to the necessity of correlation between the renewal of “UNIFIL”, and the commitment of Lebanon to the exclusive weapon that requires the government to issue a decision regarding it from the Council of Ministers, because the declaration of intentions is not enough unless it is coupled with an application mechanism, and that its taking will allow Lebanon to renew international and Arab support to it to pressure Israel to compel it to the ceasefire agreement, and withdraw from the south in preparation for the decision to implement the decision 1701, which enables him to extend his sovereignty over all its lands.
The sources pointed out that there is no interest for Lebanon by extending the purchase of time, and that what is required of Hezbollah resolved its order to deposit its weapons with the state, because it has no job after it has led its chain of transmission to Gaza for an imbalance in the balance of deterrence, and the overthrow of the rules of engagement in the interest of Israel, and it is a burden on the Lebanese.
She revealed that the hypocrisy of a decision exclusively weapon will expose the country to more dangers that Israel resorted to expanding its breaches and attacks on it, although official bodies deny that the government has received international warnings to the willingness of Israel to launch a new war.
Etisalat fan
This was required from peace, according to the sources, after consulting with the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, to carry out a wide fan of contacts to determine the extent of the parties participating in the government to secure the political quorum, not the numerical, to hold a session of the cabinet that is devoted to taking a decision to exclusively weapons, and he chose his meeting with the Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri as a first station followed by his reception to the former president of the “Progressive Socialist Party” Walid Jumblatt, With the dialogue between Aoun and the head of the “Al -Wafa Resistance” bloc (Hezbollah), MP Muhammad Raad, it was not interrupted, even if he is slowly taking place on the basis of Aoun’s adherence to his decision in this regard and not to return from him.
Maturity
It was confirmed that the research is a link between peace and righteousness to mature the circumstances, as the sources say, to hold a cabinet session and on its agenda to agree on the exclusive weapon in response to the desire of the international community that is dealing with the positions issued previously, in this regard, that it is not final unless the government adopts combined with its exclusivity with the support of Hezbollah, which avoids addressing it in positions issued by its officials.
She believes that Salam is a warning of the cabinet invitation unless it has the prior approval of the “Shiite duo” in which he supports the exclusive weapon because it is indispensable to the government’s insertion in a division led by the Shiites, one of the most prominent political components, so that his government does not turn with the start of the covenant, in his first year, to a body that manages the crisis in its international and regional dimensions.
In this context, Al -Sharq Al -Awsat learned from official sources, that if Lebanon is waiting for the American broker, Tom Barak, the answer to the three presidents responded to the ideas that it put forward to help Lebanon set a mechanism to implement the cease -fire, it anticipated its official answer with a series of positions revolving around its demand to hold a session of the Council of Ministers in which he adopts the exclusive weapon.
Fourth visit
The sources did not rule out the possibility that Barak made a fourth visit to Beirut, even though she does not expect to change in the American position expressed by the delegate of US President Donald Trump to Lebanon, although parliamentary parties take his coup against his positions, specifically by classifying him, in the hadiths made by the two military and civilian wings of Hezbollah on the list of terrorism, unlike his saying in the closed meetings that he said in the closed meetings that he said in the closed meetings that he said in the closed meetings that he said in the closed meetings. Hezbollah is a political party.
The parliamentary authorities asked Barak on what he meant as his second meeting with President Berri that he was excellent and positive, unlike some of what was issued about him, as if he responded to his demand for him to provide American guarantees that obligate Israel to stop the fire to be in power to communicate with his ally Hezbollah to discuss with him in the ideas presented to implement the ceasefire agreement, instead of Israel continued to pressure it with fire to compel Lebanon with its terms?
She said: Is it reasonable not to visit Tel Aviv, while Beirut visited three times in a row, and this does not mean that there is no justification for his visit after he retracted some of his positions in response to the request of the American administration that entrusted him with the mission of negotiation as a mediator before adopting the Israeli point of view without any hesitation?
Cram
Therefore, the international consensus in support of the exclusive weapon, although it understands Lebanon’s demand for guarantees of the withdrawal of Israel without adopting it in a way that crowds the government in the corner in light of Washington’s threat to retreat from its interest in removing it from its crises, as a prominent source in the opposition to the “Middle East” says, linked to the decision of Hezbollah to take a brave position of its descent from the highest tree and join it with the state project before the expiry of the period for the international opportunity For Lebanon, to help him get out of his crises, while passing messages to those concerned that they may be the last.
Will Hezbollah reconsider its accounts and are placed under a ward as it is the most capable of negotiating, recycling angles and communicating with the external forces concerned with the Lebanese file, which attaches importance to his role in persuading his ally to amend his position before it is too late?
