The extension floats on the surface with external pressure .. Saudi Arabia continues Qasim’s speech without comment

In the midst of the Arab and Western movement towards Lebanon, and in conjunction with the visit of the Saudi delegate, the adviser to the Saudi Foreign Minister in charge of the Lebanese file, Prince Yazid bin Farhan, to Beirut, who arrived on Friday, and the American delegate Morgan Ortagus, who is visiting Lebanon today for one day, is busy Lebanon with the file of parliamentary elections amid the escalation of calls to postpone the entitlement, which reflects the sensitivity of the stage and the complexity of the internal political scene.

The circles of extensive diplomacy reported, “Lebanon 24”, that the international decision -making departments began to pushing the upcoming parliamentary elections, if the issue of exclusive arms is not resolved in the hands of the state over the entire Lebanese territories.
According to the same circles, this internationally advanced position began to take its broader extent and it is expected that the local parties will meet, and work “with each other” to find the appropriate graduation.
This trend reflects a remarkable shift in the view of the international community, as the forces concerned consider that any electoral entitlement in light of the continued double arms and power will not lead to actual results or a change in the structure of the Lebanese authority.
The circles add that the international position has gradually established, and it is expected to expand more in the next stage, especially with the increasing pressure on Beirut to show practical steps in the file of political and security reform. In this context, the information indicates an external inclination to offer the extension one year for the current parliament, as it is a realistic option that gives additional time to withdraw weapons, pressure the party and rearrange internal balances.
This approach is not hidden from some Lebanese forces. The “Lebanese Forces” party, according to the sources, is aware of this trend and will work in a way that is consistent with the strategy of its allies based on the rejection of any elections held before the exclusive weapon. In parallel, a trend has emerged with Representative Sajaya Attia to advance a law suggesting an extension of the parliament, which may constitute the constitutional entrance to perpetuate the international -regional trend towards postponing the elections.
In addition, the Saudi delegate, Prince Yazid bin Farhan, continues his visit, where he met a number of officials and contacted the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, and his talks with the President of the Republic dealt with the issue of the upcoming meeting in New York on the two -state solution, where he wanted to see in advance of the Lebanese position before President Aoun traveling to the United States, which indicates that Saudi Arabia is following the accuracy of the Lebanese position in regional and international issues, and is keen that his position remain mysterious Regarding the major files, especially the Palestinian issue.
The sources stressed that Bin Farhan’s visit is not related to Hizbullah’s recent statements, as it has been scheduled for a while. Nevertheless, political sources say that the Saudi delegate, during his meetings yesterday, stressed his country’s firm commitment to support Lebanon’s stability and safeguard its security, and the constant concern to enhance the distinguished relations with him and open up to all its components.
While he did not indicate any comment on the position of Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, he was quoted as saying that the words of Sheikh Qasim require more consultation and evaluation before going into it, in return he affirmed the importance of the relationship with the President of the Parliament and described it as excellent, indicating that his stances are constructive and bear a national vision that served Lebanon and its stability, with the sources of the sources to the Saudi heading to visit the Kingdom.
In addition to this political dimension, the visit carried a practical dimension related to the military establishment, as the Saudi delegate offered a conference to support the army in the first half of November. It has been shown that the idea is coordinated with Paris, but that the conference will be held in the Kingdom, not in France, and this step is not without clear messages, most notably that Saudi Arabia sees in the army an essential pillar to control the internal balance and restrict weapons in the hands of the state, and therefore any financial or military support will be conditional on the progress of this path.
During his meetings, the Saudi delegate stressed that financial and economic reforms remain an inevitable condition before thinking about any economic conference or direct assistance, which confirms, according to political sources, that Riyadh is practicing a conditional support policy based on assistance in exchange for a Lebanese commitment to reforms and the cucumber of the capable state. Hence, it is clear that Saudi Arabia does not only seek to pump money or promises, but to reformulate the relationship with Lebanon on new foundations that make aid a pressure tool to reproduce internal balance.
Likewise, sources reported that the adviser to the Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Yazid bin Farhan, has remained in Lebanon for several days and will participate next Tuesday on the occasion of the Kingdom’s National Day at a reception for the Saudi embassy at the Venice Hotel.
In the context, information was reported about the possibility of his meeting with the American pollutant Morgan Ortigos during her visit to Lebanon, but there is no diplomatic confirmation of this, especially since Ortigos will visit Lebanon for one day and its mission is limited to seeing what the army is doing and meeting with the “Mechanism” committee.
On another line, the President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, arrived in New York, where he is scheduled to deliver the word Lebanon in front of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and will hold a series of meetings and meetings with officials from various countries on the sidelines of the General Assembly, related to the situation in Lebanon, the developments in the region, and its effects on the countries of the Middle East and Western countries.

Also, the site stated that Israel has installed radars capable of capturing communications and moves deep in the Syrian and Lebanese territories, and even the Iraqi border.
