A step against a step … Will Barak succeed in Tel Aviv as he succeeded in Beirut?

Apparently, the American presidential delegate Tom Barak, with whom he accompanied this time Morgan Ortigos, understood from the Lebanese officials that the Lebanese government made the first step, provided that the American administration converged with an ultimate step, which is the exercise of the maximum political and diplomatic pressures on the Israeli government to implement its implementation of points that are still stuck in the ceasefire agreement, and thus with the pleasures related to it in relation to the degrees International Resolution No. 1701, i.e. withdrawing its forces from every inch that it still occupies in southern Lebanon, and in parallel to stop its attacks, which numbered since the ceasefire agreement exceeding two thousand attacks, and then moving to the stage of stabilizing the wild demarcation similar to what was agreed upon in relation to the marine demarcation, without this meant Lebanon’s willingness to waive any of its rights devoted to international law, and that the recurrence of the maritime waiver will not happen as long as it will not happen as long as it will happen The President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, who is assigned to the negotiation process according to what is stipulated in the constitution, and not any other party, at the head of the state, while stressing the importance of internal compatibility on any future step.

What the government has done in the field of exclusive weapons in the hands of the Lebanese legitimate forces and not other de facto forces is more than sufficient as a first step in the process of restoring the decision of war and peace, provided that the Lebanese rifle remains the sure guarantee of the security of all Lebanese, including the environment that is close to Hizbullah and provided them with any external or internal attack.
The required steps from Washington remain the basis, and the first of these steps is to withdraw the Israeli army from the five Lebanese hills, which must be parallel to the Lebanese government surrenders the plan, which the army leadership is working on for a process that surrenders the “Hezbollah” weapon and any other illegal weapon, or any party that has not indicated the ceasefire agreement, from an army and internal security forces, public security, state security and customs.
The first Lebanese step will not be followed by other complementary steps unless Israel begins to withdraw its army. This position was carried with Berke and Ortugus to Tel Aviv as a Lebanese condition that cannot be compromised.
If Washington is serious in consolidating the stability of the region from Lebanon, then it has only to exercise the maximum pressure on Tel Aviv to start with the withdrawal of its army from Lebanese lands that are still occupied. But if Israel is indifferent to what the administration of US President Donald Trump seeks in terms of imposing a new reality in the hot areas, including the southern Lebanese front, any other American words remain within the framework of the hypotheses, and the Lebanese situation dates back to what it was before the fifth and seventh of this month.
Despite the optimistic atmosphere that Barak’s statements and his words reflected with the presidents of the republic, the parliament and the government, the “pros and cons” visit remains dependent on the results, which he can achieve on his visit to Tel Aviv, even though he promised to seek Israeli officials in order to meet the Lebanese step with a parallel Israeli step “after Lebanon presented more than what was required of it.”
It was understood from some of what was leaked about Burke’s meetings with Lebanese officials that he promised them to seek Israel to follow the principle of the step in exchange for a step, but at the same time he agreed that he cannot confirm or guarantee anything because this matter is subject to the Israeli position.
The new thing about Barak’s visit this time is that he talked about his intention to discuss this issue with Israeli officials and his endeavor to persuade them of this approach. But if Tel Aviv refuses to accept the principle of “a step versus step”, Washington may find itself in an embarrassing situation in front of the Lebanese, who promised them better days. And these best days will not see the light unless the government’s step, which Washington previously described as “bold and historical”, was met with similar steps and of the same importance by Israel.
