A Syrian delegation in Lebanon tomorrow and no public amnesty

A Syrian ministerial and security delegation is supposed to arrive in Beirut on tomorrow to discuss more than one file between Syria and Lebanon. The delegation includes Minister of Foreign Affairs, Asaad Shaibani, Minister of Justice, Mazhar Abdel Rahman Al -Ways, and security officials, and he will discuss with the Lebanese side a series of security and integral topics in continuation of the meeting that was previously held under the auspices of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the possibility of reopening the Syrian embassy in Lebanon after the appointment of a new ambassador with the aim of opening a new page of relations between the two countries.

Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Mitri confirms that talking about issuing an inaccurate general amnesty, and that it is working on a draft agreement between Lebanon and Syria, and it has been discussed during the next meeting with the Syrian delegation.
In addition, the issue of the Syrian detainees in Lebanon, who numbered about 2,500 between the arrested and ruled, will be among the priorities of the discussion. But the dilemma lies in the inability to pardon those who committed crimes against the Lebanese army or committed terrorist acts that claimed the lives of many Lebanese.
As for the file of the Lebanese displaced people who were displaced from their homes in Qusayr and Homs, it does not seem to be at the search table despite the displacement of more than 70,000 Lebanese from the Syrian towns near the Oronan basin.
What matters to the Syrian side is the “good” treatment of the Syrians in Lebanon, as well as the possibility of raising the issue of Syrian deposits in Lebanese banks.
As for what was reported about a law of public amnesty, former Minister of Justice, Salim Jreissati, explains that the problems were accompanying the proposal of any general amnesty law to what this law means, and the recent problem that preceded the resignation of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and then a ministerial committee was studying that proposal, and despite the arrival of the law to the House of Representatives, it was not approved at the time. The problem of general amnesty requires distinctive conditions to mature, and it is not enough that the reason is the overcrowding of prisons, and despite its importance, it does not require the publication of the general amnesty. He notes that the general amnesty exacerbates other crises, starting from drug crimes to killing and others. But the circumstances that accompany talking about a general amnesty are a political demand with distinction that lies in Syria’s demand for that.
Former minister Salim Jreissati notes that the last attempt to issue a general amnesty was in 2019, stressing that it is difficult to include the judgments concluded with amnesty, and Greisati stresses the need to respect the principle of separation of powers, considering that any general amnesty must pass through the Supreme Judicial Council.
Grisati concludes that the general amnesty should not be political or imposed from any external party, but rather must express an honest internal desire to turn a black page in the history of the country and bring peace in its place. As for the border demarcation file between Lebanon and Syria, it is considered one of the thorny files that cannot be reached a final settlement on it during the upcoming visit of the Syrian delegation, whether in relation to the maritime borders and what it requires from identifying the pure economic zone of Lebanon and Syria, or with regard to the difficulty of demarcating the Blockin 1 and 2 Lebanese borders.
As for righteousness, the issue depends on resolving the identity of the Shebaa Farms, as Lebanon adheres to its Lebanese. According to the Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri, the Lebanese Shebaa Farms as long as the Lebanese town of Shebaa, however, indicates indications that Damascus tends to adopt the identity of the farms, while American pressure may lead to the removal of the Lebanese identity from it and its attachment to Syria, in line with a new map drawn by Washington and Tel Aviv to the region.
Al -Diyar wrote: The consultations dealt with the response of the Syrian authorities, which expressed all cooperation and desire to coordinate with the Lebanese side, according to what Barak confirmed, quoting President Ahmed Al -Shara, who expressed his willingness and openness to open a new page in relations between the two countries, declaring “Syria’s skipping the issue of Hezbollah”, according to what he indicated.
In this context, sources in keeping with it revealed that Washington extracted from Damascus a decision to transfer the level of relations and negotiate with Beirut from the military level to the political and diplomatic level, which will be the first to visit the Syrian delegation to the Lebanese capital.
The data indicate that the meeting that will take place in Beirut is the first of its kind at this level, as it will discuss with thorny files and will pave the way for holding high -level meetings between the two parties later, as he learned that the formation of the Lebanese delegation will be parallel to the qualities that the Syrian delegation holds, where the border demarcation file will be discussed in detail in light of the progress of the control of smuggling, drug control and prohibitions, the detainee file, where the file It will work to prepare an agreement to exchange detainees, according to which the detainees are divided into categories, the return of the displaced, where the Lebanese state will demand priority to the reconstruction of the areas that the displaced return, and finally the full agreements concluded previously will be reviewed, including the Lebanese -Syrian Supreme Council, which tends to cancel it.
The sources concluded that the meeting, whose date has not yet been determined, will constitute a serious test that can be transferred from the management of technical files to crystallizing a serious political framework for the relationship between Beirut and Damascus, and the success of American and Saudi pressures in setting the relationship between the two countries on the railway.
