Lebanese President receives ambassadors of the Quintet (5) Committee

Beirut | February 17, 2025

General Joseph Aoun, President of the Lebanese Republic, received today the ambassadors of the Quintet Committee in Lebanon, which includes the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the United States of America and the French Republic.

(These are the members of the Lebanese ceasefire committee)

During the meeting, the latest developments in Lebanon, especially the Israeli withdrawal from the south, were reviewed, and the continued support for the Quintet and the full commitment to stand by the Lebanese state were emphasized.

โ—๏ธReport by Israeli media about the IDF withdrawal and the occupation of parts of South Lebanon

The IDF confirms troops will remain deployed to five strategic positions in southern Lebanon beyond tomorrow's deadline to withdraw as part of a ceasefire agreement, and details where they are located.

The United States has authorized the IDF to remain in the five points, though it is not clear yet how long troops will stay there. The military says it will stay there as long as the Israeli political echelon tells it to.

At the five positions, the IDF has constructed military posts that will be manned by troops.

The posts are located at: a hill near Labbouneh, across from the the Israeli border town of Shlomi; the Jabal Blat peak, across from Zar'it; a hill across from Avivim and Malkia; a hill across from Margaliot; and a hill across from Metula.

None of the posts are located within built-up areas of Lebanon. The IDF will be withdrawing from all Lebanese border villages and towns tomorrow.

The IDF has also ramped up its defenses on the Israeli side of the border, with several new army posts, one in front of every Israeli border community; better surveillance capabilities, including more cameras, radars, and censors; and triple the number of troops compared to before the war.

The military expects Hezbollah supporters to carry out protests as residents of the south Lebanon border villages return to their homes. Troops by then will not be located in any of the towns, so there should be no direct friction, according to the IDF.

The IDF, however, will prevent suspects from approaching the Israeli border and the newly established army posts at the five strategic positions.

Over the last few days, the IDF says it carried out "intensive activity" in southern Lebanon, removing any last threats it could find, from caches of Hezbollah weapons to tunnel infrastructure. The troops operated in areas up to 8 kilometers inside Lebanon.

The IDF says that the area close to the Israeli border is essentially entirely cleared of Hezbollah infrastructure and weapons, after troops in the past months scanned nearly every home, under every tree, and in every valley.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Lebanon extends the ban of Iranian airline planes indefinitely, after it was set to expire tomorrow.
They know well there are many Iranian officials that need to arrive to the funeral and they know well there are hundreds of Iranians that want to come

This is literally war on Hezb by the Lebanese president and Hezb continues to act and want to believe that the president is a partner not a foe.

The president continues to prove to us, why the U.S.A was this serious about getting him elected.
๐Ÿคฌ90๐Ÿ‘22๐Ÿซก7๐Ÿ‘€1
The only way for Aoun to have been able to remove legitimacy from Hezbullah is to have secured a full Israeli withdrawal.

Yet he failed to have the U.S secure that. He failed and his failure has reignited the legitimacy of resistance as a key to security when the state is cowardly.

He ensured that Hezbullah has a pretext to stay armed, to liberate the Lebanese hills and to create deterrence

For Gods sake understand, the U.S. cares about Israel's security only and doesn't have a partner other than Israel.

Any help it gives you is when it ensures it will be in favor of Israel.

Lebanon will never be Israeli or American, and Lebanon will never submit. Screw you and screw your submission

โ—๏ธEven though Lebanon's president claimed there is no truth to extending the Israeli stay in Lebanon to 15 days, the U.S officially announces it.

US says Lebanon-Israel ceasefire has been extended another three weeks until Feb. 18. This is in regards to the full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.
The White House also announced a promise to discuss this which Aoun didn't follow-up or demand.

Ffs there isn't even a statement by the PM and president from today's first cabinet meeting about the withdrawal and the 5 points
