Economic pressure on Iran will increase
روبيو3 days ago · lebanon debate
Tripoli and the North are a priority for the United Nations, because of their untapped economic potential, most notably the port, the strategic location, industrial land, and young human resources.

The coming phase will place Hezbollah and the state before a real test: either a transition to a new equation in which military and security decisions are in the hands of legitimate institutions, or the continuation of division that makes Lebanon hostage to conflicts beyond its borders and capabilities.

Eisenkot's success in forming the government does not necessarily mean Israel will move to a less hardline policy toward Lebanon.

that this proposal would gain consensus between the President of the Republic and the government, and that the Foreign Minister would work to adopt it at the United Nations. Then we would have come a long way toward preserving our south and our country. All of that can only be achieved through internal understandings, because abroad, in my opinion, will not think about our interest as much as we think about it. Therefore, it is better that we define what we want, instead of what the outside wants being imposed on us, especially since we have fears that additional concessions will be imposed on us beyond what we have already offered.

In light of this complete absence, we today made a tour and presented an initiative to the President of the Republic, the Speaker of Parliament and the Prime Minister, stipulating the provision of a commitment and guarantee from the five permanent members of the Security Council, so that they oversee the implementation of the Israeli withdrawal, the return of the displaced and reconstruction. It also includes the disarmament of all illegal weapons present in Lebanon, the handover of the entire southern region to the state, and the deployment of the Lebanese army in it and its assumption of full responsibility, under the sponsorship of the five major countries that are divided between 'two teams', in a way that achieves justice and ensures the implementation of the resolution and guarantees compliance with it.

Always, unfortunately, we wait for a solution from the government, while the government in turn waits for what will happen abroad. But abroad will never be occupied with our concerns or waiting for what it can do to help Lebanon. Therefore, we wished the government would initiate finding solutions to this situation, especially since we have known for a year that we would reach this result.

We hear from time to time hints and innuendo about the army leadership and the person of the army commander, distinguished by his wise, sober and calm leadership to spare the country more divisions, disputes and one-upmanship that do not benefit, but increase the ruin of the structure for everyone… Rudolf Heikal represents the national integrity enjoyed by the army as a national institution, and the high morality enjoyed by every officer, non-commissioned officer and soldier… Stop your poisons against this institution, and Lebanon has had enough of what it has been afflicted with because of those suspicious positions.
