Saudi Arabia also prefers a peaceful solution to the Iranian conflict
Qatar prefers a peaceful solution with Iran, but America is ready to launch strikes if necessary
The American voters have made their decision. Now it is time for the White House to make its decision
At the moment, the talks have not been fruitful; the Iranian demands are not only unacceptable, but in some cases seem outrageous, ridiculous and completely unrealistic
Very unlikely
Tampering with security and stability is prohibited
About 20 people were arrested, most of whom confessed to robbery and pickpocketing operations; security measures are continuing and tampering with security and stability is forbidden
Security measures are ongoing, and the safety of citizens and the country is the permanent priority and our collective responsibility. Tampering with security and stability is forbidden.
Nothing protects Lebanon except everyone's commitment to keeping the decision of war and peace and the monopoly on weapons in the hands of the state.
Enough of ties that repeatedly drag Lebanon into the furnace of futile wars, which will only give Israel more pretexts to expand its occupation of the south and persist in destruction, killing and displacement.
It is very regrettable that Lebanese are being misled by talk of the government being lost or confused, as if it is subject to external bets and illusory calculations.
Americans are tired and fed up with Israel's deception of US administrations and its dragging them into endless wars. They have had enough. So has our region
The countries we have provided protection for will pay us all the costs of the war
If I had the opportunity to make the decision to attack Iran again, I would make the same decision without hesitation
He believes that Iran is weak and wants to reach an agreement, that its economy is suffering, that it suffers from a liquidity shortage, and that inflation in it is high
Very unlikely
Cancer slows me down sometimes
I do not want that, and I see no reason for it.
Hatred of Israel has become intense, along with the impact of the war and gas prices, and these are the main reasons behind the losses.
There is no inheritance
The decision of war and peace and the exclusive possession of weapons is in the hands of the state, and there is no retreat from this approach
Highly Unlikely
Disagreement over policies is a right, but disagreement over the existence of the state and its authority is not a point of view.. it is a stab at the core of the Lebanese entity.
Lebanon is not an arena for two camps nor spoils for two axes. Lebanon is one republic.. one state.. and one decision.
War or no war? The Lebanese must not remain hostages of two camps while their homeland can bear only one authority: the Republic and the Constitution.
Israeli movements on the border could reflect a strengthening of offensive and defensive capabilities, and readiness to carry out limited incursions, or to expand existing areas of control, without necessarily constituting evidence of an imminent decision to launch a comprehensive ground operation.
But I lean toward the view that the current escalation falls within a strategy of calculated military pressure, and is not a decisive indication of a decision to launch an all-out war, especially since any major expansion of Israeli operations will remain governed by American strategic constraints, given Washington's orientation toward containing the confrontation and producing a political settlement.
Not separating this escalation from the political calculations of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, especially after his inability to decisively conclude the Israeli elections and the difficulty of forming a government, with the possibility of returning to new elections.
Look at Iraq and you will know what will happen in Lebanon.
UN Resolution 1701 is the legal guarantee of Lebanon's right to recover its land in full up to the internationally recognized border, and the international emergency force represents an operational framework for implementing all provisions of this resolution
