Financial dispute halts transfer of US embassy to occupied Jerusalem

The decision by Donald Trump in 2018 to move the US embassy has been delayed for years over a financial dispute between the Israeli ministry of finance (MoF) and the Israel Land Authority (ILA).

«The law in Israel prohibits the sale of state-owned property. Typically, the ILA would lease land for 49 or 98 years. (...) The agreement was inked on the condition that the MoF would be responsible to cover the expenses. Eventually, the ILA halted the transfer of the ‘Allenby plot’ to the US [in Jerusalem], effectively stopping all construction efforts of the new compound. The construction zone on Allenby plot will be located on stolen Palestinian property according to newly discovered documents by Adalah.»

Brief of what Hezbullah's SG Sayed Hasan Nasrallah said tonight:

- We sent the 3 UAVs and intended to get them destroyed so the Greek ship and its engineers feel unsafe working there.

- We don't have time, these negotiations need to end before September. Else, it's lost.

⋯ Lebanon should unite and use Hezbullah's power as negotiating strength

- The US is buying time and trying to ensure Israel's rights and not Lebanon.

⋯ Oil and Gas are our only remaining economic lifeline, if we are denied them no one will sell oil and gas (as in Israel won't be allowed).

- Lebanon is collapsing, a war seems to be have a better outcome than letting Lebanon die slowly
