On the other hand, the army’s support file topped the priorities of the talks conducted by the French presidential delegate, Jean -Yves Ludrian, in Beirut, and dealt with Paris efforts to sponsor two conferences to support the army and for reconstruction, after the endeavors made by France to renew the “UNIFIL” state.
The President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, told him that “the support of the army is equivalent to the importance of reconstruction,” calling for “American and French pressure on Israel, which helps the army to complete the security plan.”
Al -Nahar wrote: The positive factor that printed Ludrian’s visit represented in what he himself transferred to the three presidents, Joseph Aoun, Nabih Berri and Nawaf Salam, that he touched positive preparations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia towards Lebanon in light of the decisions and measures taken by the government, knowing that he visited the Kingdom before his arrival in Beirut. These data would dispel all the complaining “the skeptical” that you live around the external positions of the cabinet decisions in the September 5 session.
Positive external trends, especially French, Gulf and American, are enhanced regarding the recent cabinet decisions and the army leadership plan to implement an exclusive weapon decision, after the French movement accompanied the US Department of Defense to approve aid for Lebanon, valued at $ 14.2 million, allocated to the Lebanese army.
Sources keeping pace with the visit told Asharq Al -Awsat that the conference support conference promised by French President Emmanuel Macron last month, “discusses the discussions”, and quoted “positive atmosphere” through international contacts that he fought for Adrian, for the purpose of preparing for the conference and securing the necessary support for the army in a way that enables it to implement its duties, noting that the idea of ​​the conference “takes its way through French contacts, to implement in isolation from the city that will host the conference”, In reference to ideas for his contract outside France.
Other sources familiar with the discussions in Beirut indicate that the French priority is to support internal stability, stability on the border, and help Lebanon to rise, noting that this is “through supporting the army, and implementing the required reforms”, after securing the extension of the “UNIFIL” mission with a French payment, as well Reconstruction.
Ludrian pointed out that Saudi Arabia has prepared to support the army and the success of the conference, while stressed the need to coordinate with Washington in the calm file with Israel, especially since Aoun called on France to pressure Tel Aviv to withdraw and adhere to the truce. As for the “UNIFIL”, Laudrian stressed the necessity of coordinating her withdrawal after the end of her mission, to avoid any vacuum. The brigade wrote: Information stated that Ludrian came to Beirut from Saudi Arabia, where Prince Yazid bin Farhan met the Assistant Secretary of State, and discussed with him the subject of the supporters of supporting Lebanon and the army. He assured the Lebanese officials that the army support conference will be held during the next two months with a “unconditional” Saudi and American support, its indicators began to announce the US Congress yesterday to allocate “security aid” to the Lebanese army worth 14 and a half million dollars, followed by a payment of 190 million.
As for the conference of recovering Lebanon and reconstruction, it is linked to the implementation of the issue of restricting weapons in the hands of the state, and all reforms, and agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which holds its annual meetings in the next fall, and Lebanon will participate in it in October. While a delegation from the fund arrives in Beirut on September 22 to meet the ministers and officials concerned with reforms.
Al -Diyar wrote: The French delegate, Jean -Yves Ludryan, came to Beirut, carrying with him a promise to hold two conferences, without setting a specific date for them, one to support the army, and the other to restore reconstruction, and if the French envoy has linked success to the construction conference to economic reforms, not disarmament, but he quoted the Saudi official in charge of the Lebanese file, Yazid bin Farhan, who met before his arrival in Beirut, to provide support for the army The framework of implementing an exclusive weapon plan, which is the condition of the Americans also placed in the context of announcing 140 million dollars in announcement of the military establishment, as it explained assistance to support the army in weakening the capabilities of Hizbulb.
Ludrian, who was transferred to President Aoun, confirmed President Macron, the continuation of French support for Lebanon in all fields, especially with regard to the work to hold two international conferences, the first to support the Lebanese army and the second to support the economy and reconstruction. It is, according to informed sources, did not provide any promises about the possibility of influencing the Israeli position that refused to alleviate the size of its operations on the Lebanese scene. In light of the tension in the French -Israeli relations, there is no “mortar” for Paris on “Israel”, but according to the French information, the Americans did not obtain any pledge to withdraw from the points. The French role was absent in favor of the marathon visits to the American delegations from all levels, the last of which was the diplomatic -military delegation and before it the diplomatic and political delegation. The sources pointed out that the French are trying to play a role between the internal political parties to preserve their historical role in Lebanon and to be part of any American -Iranian -Iranian settlement in Lebanon that belong to them with economic and financial returns in light of the deteriorating economic and political conditions in France. However, the sources pointed out that the French role in Lebanon does not have a major impact on the Lebanese equation and is not independent but under the American -Saudi ceiling if it is not in full coordination, especially with the specialization of support conferences that France prepares to organize, and therefore the sources do not count on a French active role in supporting Lebanon financially and economically and in terms of reconstruction and pushing the Israeli to withdraw from the lands and stop its aggression and expand it in Lebanon.
Diplomatic sources revealed that “the French presidential delegate, Jean -Yves Laudrian, who arrived in Lebanon after a meeting with the Saudi delegate, Yazid bin Farhan in Riyadh, assured the Lebanese officials that the Lebanese Army Support Conference will take place in the next two months with Saudi and American support.” The channel’s information indicated that “Ludryan informed the officials of a Saudi -French -American understanding to hold the conference, after Congress approved 14 million and a half million dollars to support the army, pending $ 190 million on the road,” noting that “Laudrian has also informed Lebanese officials that the army support conference is unconditional, and the reconstruction conference is conditional on implementing reforms and agreement with the International Monetary Fund And limit the weapon. ”
