⋯ Later on, Saudi state media reported that PM-designate Mikati has been warned, likely by foreign governments, that Aoun should not get to name the majority of Christian ministers in the government.

Was it the warning that caused the backtrack in the formation process!?

US Ambassador Dorothy Shea, after a phone call with President Michel Aoun:

"The USA will allow the transfer of Egyptian gas through Jordan and Syria to northern Lebanon."

"Negotiations are underway with the World Bank to secure financing for the Egyptian gas, repairs and strengthening the electricity transmission lines, and the required maintenance of gas pipelines."

⋯ With the American sanctions on Syria (Caesar Act) and occupation of north-east Syria, Damascus will not cooperate with the USA, neither will the USA cooperate with Damascus.

Without Syria, Lebanon has no access to Jordan and Egypt.

⬥ "Al-Aytam" petrol stations announced that they ran out of petrol and will cease operating.

⬥ Bahman Hospital, Dar Al-Aman for the elderly, and the rest of the health centers affiliated with Al-Mabarat Association are threatened with closure due to the fuel crisis.

The Jordanian Ministry of Energy: Jordan is ready to provide all possible support to Lebanon, by providing it with electricity from the Jordanian network and delivering Egyptian gas.

⋯ One a side note, Jordan is among the most dependent in the world on foreign energy sources, with 93% of the country's energy needs coming from imported oil and natural gas from neighboring Middle Eastern countries.

As of 2020, Jordan started to import Israeli gas to generate electricity in 10's of billion worth of natural gas purchase.

Is Lebanon going to use Israeli gas for electricity!?

⋯ The biggest issue with Jordan's electricity offer, besides the issue of using Israeli gas, is to keep Lebanon dependent on foreign electricity grids, instead of having a sovereign one.

Currently, Lebanon buys Syrian electricity and rents 1-2 Turkish ships for electricity generation. Adding Jordan & Egypt will only increase Lebanon's dependency, while wasting the money to advance Lebanon's own grid.

The IMF loans should be used to achieve Lebanon's long-term goals, and not temporary solutions.

Spokesman for the Israeli Occupation Army:

The sudden exercise conducted by the Galilee Division was concluded within the framework of examining the readiness of the army forces for the possibility of escalation on the northern borders (Lebanon.)

According to Al Jadeed, two missiles fell in the Qalamoun area on the Lebanese-Syrian border.

It's unknown if they are Syrian AD missiles, or intercepted Israeli rockets like last time.

They were heard clearly in the border village of south Lebanon.
