This week, the fate of the American paper, whose goals approved the Lebanese Council of Ministers, will be decided at the beginning of this month, with the American envoys Tom Barak and Morgan Ortagus with a delegation that includes military figures and prominent Senator Lindsay Graham, known for his close proximity to the American president. Barak will carry with him the answer of Israel on this paper and the steps that it will implement to meet the Lebanese move with the exclusive approval of the weapon through the Council of Ministers, which allows to move forward to apply the provisions of this paper.
According to the data, the Barak tour in the region will be decisive this time, and what indicates that Barak met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, and Syrian President Ahmed Al -Sharaa meets today to arrive in Lebanon this evening and MP Raji Al -Saad holds a dinner in his honor in a restaurant in central Beirut with political and diplomatic participation.
Barak begins his meetings tomorrow morning at Baabda Palace, with a meeting with the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, and later meet the heads of the House of Representative Nabih Berri and the government Nawaf Salam.
On the other hand, the differences within the UN Security Council over the decision to extend the “UNIFIL” forces continue, and it appeared, according to diplomatic sources at the United Nations, that the issue is no longer confined to technical formulation, but rather is linked to the political path and the messages that Barak will carry to the Lebanese government.
European sources suggested that the vote will leave until the last day of the session on August 29, to make way for more deliberations. A senior US State Department source confirmed that “until now, no official date has been set to vote on the extension.”
It is reported that the last formula presented by France for the extension of “UNIFIL” does not include the phrase “extension for a last year”, but rather focuses on the extension and keeping pace with the army to extend its authority in the south, and indicates that the United Nations Secretary -General will send in March a UN mission to assess the situation on the ground, the effectiveness of “UNIFIL” and the speed of the Lebanese state in extending its authority.
In light of these developments, the internal circles are awaiting the plan that the army leadership will submit to implement the “exclusive weapon” decision approved by the Council of Ministers, while the data indicates the weighting of the leadership’s request to extend the deadline for implementing the decision beyond the end of the current year, knowing that proving these data is awaiting a session of the Council of Ministers on September 2 to see the army leadership plan.
