We will not stand in your way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Washington wants to subject Lebanon to the implementation of the Israeli version of UN Resolution 1701 as it does not plan anything other than achieving the broad normalization project across the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Despite Hezbollah\u2019s political flexibility, Washington is pressuring Nawaf Salam, the Prime Minister, to form a \u201cgovernment free of partisans and politicians\u201d whose ministers are merely employees who carry out the highest orders, most notably obstructing the reconstruction of what was destroyed by Israel, its proxy in the region, during the two months of intensive bombardments of Lebanon that started in September and lasted until November.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This has been confirmed by the possibility of US President Donald Trump\u2019s participation in the opening ceremony of the largest intelligence complex in West Asia \u2013 which they call the new US embassy in Beirut \u2013 which will recruit about two thousand US political, security and military personnel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">What is happening is nothing but the Plan B of the failed war in the region. \u00a0Immediately after the fall of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s government, and amid the Israeli incursion, al-Julani\u2019s (Ahmed al-Sharaa) position was decisive regarding the elimination of the Palestinian resistance in Syria, especially in the border area with Lebanon. Al Julani reiterated his will he has no intention to fight \u201cIsrael\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">According to Al Akhbar newspaper\u2019s leaks, during his visit to Damascus, Najib Mikati, the caretaker prime minister, was repeatedly asked, \u201cIn your opinion, is Anwar Sadat considered a traitor?\u201d Mikati did not answer al-Julani. The latter addressed him: \u201cI thought about it for a long time. I have studied all the revolutions in the world, and I reviewed the ideologies and forces that the Arab nation has experienced. Now, I believe that \u2013 at that time \u2013 if I were in Sadat\u2019s place, I would have done the same thing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Obviously, al-Julani did not miss an opportunity to please Washington as further leaked information has revealed his intention to grant Syrian citizenship to all Palestinian refugees in Syria.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Meanwhile, the Israeli enemy attaches great importance to the meeting that will bring together Netanyahu and Trump next week. \u00a0There are no definitive estimates regarding the future of the region, as all assumptions remain valid, especially in light of the presence of a volatile personality like Trump, a factor that Netanyahu bet on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"> \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tehrantimes.com\/news\/509294\/US-pressure-on-Lebanon-reveals-plan-to-enforce-normalization\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOUTH LEBANON \u2013 Today, Sunday, the residents of the occupied border towns \u2013 Yaroun, Maroun al-Ras, Aitaroun, Blida, Mays al-Jabal, Houla, Markaba, Adaisseh, and Kfar Kila &#8211; will resume their liberation movement as the Israeli enemy continues its attacks in south and north of the Litani River.
