With the conclusion of the exceptional Arab -Islamic Summit to respond to its brutal aggression QatarThe Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, gave orders to his army to start expanding the ground operation to invade Gaza City. This was practically his actual response to the summit, and an affirmation of a move forward in his military battles without giving way to any mediation or a ceasefire initiative. Netanyahu’s option is the open war, on many fronts, as he says despite his opponents accusing him that his battles are without goals other than staying in his position. It was not barely hours after the summit ended until it launched a raid on a residential area near the city of Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon, after which the warnings came to evacuate the port of Hodeidah in Yemen before it was bombed by 13 air strikes.
Lebanon wanted the Doha summit to form a protective shield for it in the face of the Israeli escalation and to continue the security and political pressure in cooperation with the United States. The summit was an opportunity for Lebanon to be able to restore its balance in the face of pressure, perhaps a formula for the Americans is reached to stop the Israeli war and prevent the escalation of its pace and the breadth of its horizon, but Netanyahu chose a different response. A response makes various Arab countries to feel more risks, either by continuing assassination or military operations. This drives Lebanon to fear more than the Israelis attend, especially since a few days ago, Israeli officials said that they will continue the war against Hezbollah and the Houthis after the end of the Gaza war, and this means that there is an Israeli willingness to enter a new fighting round against Lebanon.
According to diplomatic sources, Netanyahu is working to achieve his project by force, which means that he will seek to abort all political attempts or negotiations seeking to reach a ceasefire. Diplomatic sources concluded that what will drive Netanyahu to stop the war is a fundamental change in the American position or his suffering a strong blow that makes Israel really search for a path to stop the fighting and find a political agreement.
At the level of Lebanon, caution is increasing regarding the Israeli action mechanism, and despite the lack of rapid or continuous escalation, the moments of calm in the front do not seem reassuring for the Lebanese who consider that after every calm, a military operation is often carried out that is surprising in its place, time and destination.
In this context, indicators of the possibility of Israelis expand or intensify the scope of air military operations against the party’s sites and targets. The irony is that the Israelis send their conditions and demands that its positions should be raided in the south and the Bekaa, after which these sites are targeted. Lebanon came out of the government session on September 5 in a comfortable and appropriate formula for the various internal forces, and this is not what the Israelis who want a clash between the Lebanese army and the party, and they want the state to take over is the process of withdrawing weapons even by force, so what has been reached in Beirut considers Israel inappropriate for it and seeks to swoop itself, especially by continuing the incursions and immunization of the sites that occupy it, in addition to fear Its resorting to the implementation of fiery belts in a number of southern regions to convert the front villages into a buffer zone.
In this context, Lebanon is awaiting the visit of the American delegate Morgan Ortigos to participate in a meeting of the ceasefire monitoring committee within the framework of activating the committee’s work and the work of the army in the south of the Litani River, which Washington wants to complete the process of withdrawing weapons before moving to the northern region, and according to the information, Ortagus will keep pace with the army’s plan and work mechanism, in addition to researching the possibility of providing more assistance to the military establishment. Sources indicate that communication exists between Lebanese officials and with Hezbollah also to cooperate with the army in southern Litani and avoid more Israeli escalation, and that there are attempts with the party to persuade him to evacuate a number of military sites in the Bekaa and hand them over to the army, and according to the information, the communication is still existing and continuing to reach understanding.
