BEIRUT – A few days before the end of its mission in southern Lebanon, the UN Security Council has not yet set a date for a session to determine the fate of Unifil’s mission, due to US and Israeli conditions related to Hezbollah’s disarmament.
Sources say Paris has submitted text to Beirut to prepare a one-year extension resolution. It clearly mentions the possibility that Unifil could convert Lebanon into purely American and Israeli colonies.
These authority include establishing a checkpoint at the entrance to Hezbollah’s base on the southern outskirts of Beirut. This involves submission of those who come and go for a thorough examination. Implies strict restrictions on products. Manage fund movements. Sources say the task will likely be assigned to Arab security forces.
This coincides with plans to establish a buffer zone of at least three kilometers deep in areas adjacent to occupied Palestine, and keeps American promises that shine for the southerners of industrial and tourism areas.
The reality is that Israel is not intending to withdraw from the important strategic points it has occupied. It claims that five points are under occupation, but they are extended. It is also caught on the outskirts of Adaise, the area between Marqaba and Hula, and on the outskirts of Aita al Shahb.
Meanwhile, much anger was recorded at the polite manners of American envoys. Beirut arrogantly demanded that the Lebanese government review the Army’s plans to disarm the resistance soon after completion.
The American delegation publicly strengthened the threat to the Lebanese government, in line with what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced.
This proves that negotiations with the enemy are in vain and that the Lebanese government only reaps disappointment. Because Washington and Tel Aviv are insatiable by their humiliation and are not satisfied with the concessions it has provided. Rather, they must force disarmament of resistance.
Clearly, the goals of the US delegation tour to Beirut (Senators Lindsey Graham, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Special US Presidential Envoy to Lebanon and Syria Thomas Barrack, Special US Presidential Envoy to Morgan Ortags, and the US Ambassador, unless it differs from Islana’s other statement, the US Ambassador said, “Lebanon will do something different.”
