Leaving Lebanon's occupied hills, Al Ghajar village, and returning the Golan Heights to Syria.

They along with all Arab regimes have come, since decades, to the acceptance of Israel as a reality that can not be changed but still hold on the right of a Palastinian state to exist

This is what the "Arab initiative for peace" that was done in 2002 in Beirut is for and requested by KSA. This is actually the official stand of the Lebanese government, peace after establishing a Palastinian state with the borders of 1967 and giving up the occupied territories.

Only few non state actors and countries still advocate for a Palastinian state over all of Palastine...from the river to the sea...till the last inch. END

On this day, 16 August 1999, IDF assassinated Ali Hasan Dieb " Abu Hasan Salameh", an ex-Fatah commander, alongside Imad Moghnieh and later a Hezbullah commander who was tasked with the Palastinian file of arms smuggling and armed resistance inside Palastine. https://t.co/OIbt3u3Y6o

When reading a book about Lawrence and the Hijaz campaign in 1917, but end up discovering how the UK was more friendly to Al Saud's Wahabist clan in Hijaz and how they bankrolled them, but were secterian against a group they never met or engaged, the Shias in north Lebanon. https://t.co/TUwCtK33vh

Though I've got to say, Lawrence himself was very harsh in his memoirs about the Shia in Lebanon too.

He wasn't the first, as most history books never knew who they were and used to confuse them with the Druze.

Their facebook statement is about making sure there is no weapons or ammunition inside their municipality territories.

Similar to last week, two IDF Merkava tanks crossed the technical line and approached the border with Lebanon under the protection of a third tank, while deploying smoke, near Mays Al Jabal. https://t.co/XLZU1xbpvJ
