Nothing about disarming Hezbollah alltogether, everything about begging for foreign money and funds for reconstruction and the Army

🇱🇧 Change MP Waddah Sadek: It has become clear that Lebanon’s response to the American paper will be merely a rhetorical document with no serious practical steps, due to the party’s obstinacy and the state’s complacency. The question remains: Has the party, backed by Iran, decided to drag Lebanon into another devastating confrontation?

✝️🇱🇧 Lebanese Forces MP Fadi Karam: The response must either be Lebanese—based on the immediate exclusivity of arms in the hands of the state and discussed within official Lebanese institutions—or it will be a Hezbollah response that has nothing to do with the Lebanese people, and those who adopt it must bear its responsibility

🇱🇧 An-Nahar: Leaked details of Lebanon’s official response to Barak’s paper contain no commitment to disarm Hezbollah. Instead, the response focuses on Lebanon’s adherence to the cessation of hostilities agreement with Israel and the implementation of the provisions of UN Resolution 1701

Either Joseph Aoun is playing 4D chess or he's an incompetent sleepy chubbier version of Joe Biden

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has arrived in the US.

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸 According to Al Jadeed's information, the Lebanese response includes 10 points:

- First, Lebanon’s commitment to the understandings regarding the cessation of hostilities resulting from Resolution 1701.

- Second, the importance of renewing UNIFIL's mandate and supporting the Lebanese Army, enabling it to perform its duties in coordination with the Lebanese Army. It calls on the international community to enhance logistical and financial support for the Lebanese Army to enable it to expand its deployment in the area south of the Litani River.

- Third, the dismantling of Hezbollah's facilities south of the Litani River, in the context of strengthening the authority of the state and extending its sovereignty, and establishing a zone free of any armed manifestations outside the framework of the state.

- Fourth, the Israeli withdrawal from the five points and disputed areas, most notably the Shebaa Farms and the Kfar Shuba Hills. It reiterates the demand for the return of Lebanese prisoners and detainees held by the occupying authorities, and for clarification of the fate of missing persons.

- Fifth: Emphasizing the implementation of the Taif Agreement and Resolution 1701.

- Sixth: Activating the "Mechanism Committee" and halting attacks. It calls on the United States to play an active role in pressuring Israel to halt its repeated attacks on Lebanon and ensure respect for the cessation of hostilities understandings.

- Seventh: Lebanon calls for Arab sponsorship of the Lebanese-Syrian relationship, ensuring the safe and dignified return of displaced Syrians. It emphasizes the importance of controlling the Lebanese-Syrian border.

- Eighth: Adherence to the oath of office and the ministerial statement, particularly with regard to protecting sovereignty, implementing reforms, and adhering to the authority of the state and its institutions.

- Ninth: Continuing the path of financial and economic reforms. This commitment is included in the context of rebuilding confidence in the Lebanese economy and restoring its normal relationship with the international financial system.

- Tenth: The importance of reconstruction and facilitating Lebanon’s commitments to placing the weapons of the Palestinian factions on the table for a solution in accordance with the Taif Agreement and the provisions of Resolution 1701.

This adressed zero (0) American demands

We will share what Barrack asked to show you that the Lebanese response is retarded and that the Lebanese aren't serious about the surrender of Hezbollah weapons. Clearly the response is based on a false interpretation of the ceasefire agreement

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 US envoy Tom Barrack arrived in Beirut, where he is scheduled to receive Lebanon's official response to his proposed paper.

@anything961

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 Al Jadeed: The Lebanese response, as published yesterday, was sent to Tom Barrack, who requested some amendments to it, considering the response insufficient. This prompted the presidential committee to work on amending some of the clauses.

@anything961

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 MTV Information: A proposal may be submitted to Tom Barrack regarding an additional deadline for Lebanon to attempt to reach a breakthrough with Hezbollah.

@anything961

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸‼️ American sources told MTV: Barak will return to Washington with the Lebanese response at the time of the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, which means that any decision that might be made will be made in a bilateral meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, and this is a very dangerous matter and could lead to an escalation towards Beirut.

@anything961

Netanyahu is in America, it's joever

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 President Joseph Aoun is currently meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barak, in the presence of U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon, Lisa Johnson.

@anything961

We're so cooked btw

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 Barak from Baabda Palace: I had a wonderful and engaging meeting with President Aoun at a very critical time for Lebanon and the region, where a real opportunity must be seized. The time has come to change the region. President Trump has pledged to respect Lebanon and committed to standing behind it. I’m grateful for the Lebanese response, which includes many valuable ideas—we have received it and will delve into its details in pursuit of a settlement.

@anything961

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 Barak from Baabda Palace: Everyone is exhausted by what has happened, and now there’s an opportunity that must be seized. We want Lebanon to deal with Hezbollah — not us. We’re not dictating what Lebanon should do; rather, we’re supporting it in the decisions it makes. The mechanism that existed between Lebanon and Israel did not proceed along the right track. There is no connection between our discussions in Lebanon and Iran. Hezbollah is purely a Lebanese problem — you must resolve it yourselves.

@anything961

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 Barak from Baabda Palace: Security will guarantee the inflow of investments into Lebanon. The Lebanese response falls within the range we are aiming for. Syria has moved from total chaos to a place of hope, despite lacking what Lebanon possesses. Israel does not want a war with Lebanon. The Lebanese response came in 15 points and was marked by a sense of responsibility.

@anything961

🌲 - 🇱🇧🇺🇸 Barak from Baabda Palace: Dialogue has begun between Syria and Israel, and there is a need for a fundamental shift on Lebanon’s part. Hezbollah must realize that it has an opportunity for peace. Lebanese consensus is essential to reaching a solution.
