🇱🇧l🇫🇷 After Saudi Arabia, France says it.

Anti-Hezbullah Lebanese Media, MTV, which is associated with the Lebanese Forces party acknowledges their support of foreign intervention in Lebanon and France's intervention, to confirm that their envoy told a group of MPs to obey and to elect Aoun tomorrow.

"Joseph Aoun or nobody": https://x.com/MTVLebanonNews/status/1877024297333473441

🇱🇧 Written by Hassan Illaik on X:

Regardless of the election outcome and who wins, what is happening now is a comprehensive American-Saudi invasion of the Lebanese political and constitutional scene.

What has been happening since last Saturday renders any future talk about a constitution, law, and institutions mere lies in a country that was once a semi-colony, but American and Saudi behavior indicates a relentless effort to transform it into a full-fledged colony for them.

What the Americans (and the Saudis) are doing in Lebanon seems worse than Washington’s behavior in the colony of Puerto Rico, which calls itself: the Free and Associated State of Puerto Rico.

In form, the army commander could have been elected through a normal internal settlement, but the American and Saudi regimes want to impose him.

Salute to President Nabih Berri, who has so far bravely resisted all the pressures of the new, insolent guardianship. Salute to him.

🇱🇧l🇫🇷 MTV about Le Drian: "He was strict, "Joseph Aoun or no one..."

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 There was a small explosion in this facility because of the bad storage by the IDF.

An Israeli "civilian" was injured.

❗️The IDF will hide the faces of soldiers, demand them to stop posting on social because in the fear of exposing their war crimes.

This comes in light of several activists who were able to collect videos from soldiers' social media exposing their crimes in Gaza, from demolishing civilian houses to using human shields and shooting civilians.

So instead of stopping this crimes, the IDF decided to hide faces. If this isn't an acknowledgement of guilt, idk what is.

The Western backers of the Jewish state didn't care and don't care.

For fear of arrests and complaints against fighters and officers abroad: the IDF dramatically tightens the disclosure procedures of the forces in the territory of the Gaza Strip

Following the events of the last few days, Chief of Staff Halevi instructed in an order of the General Staff not to reveal the identities of fighters, officers and commanders fighting in the Gaza Strip.

In the media coverage of the media that enter Gaza, they will no longer be allowed to photograph their faces and publish the full names of any of the officers and soldiers up to the rank of colonel.

That is - even senior officers - generals and generals who fight in the Strip - will not be exposed, except in exceptional cases.

🇱🇧 By Journalist Ahmad Taha:

Whether Hezbullah and the Amal Movement will elect Joseph Aoun as President of the Republic or not, the election is unconstitutional and "a fallout".

If he wins tomorrow, the constitution will have to be updated.

This is in form, but in substance, if Hezbullah and Amal go to elect Aoun with a "promise by Aoun" related to the reconstruction, economy and renaissance of the country, then a congratulations Joseph Aoun, and congratulations to Hezbullah and Amal.

The important thing is that they do not vote for an option that they will not benefit politically from.

Enough with the Shia's humbleness and asceticism. Especially Hezbulah.

Back when Hezbullah was a regional power with projection, they were shy about waging a political battle over a ministerial portfolio, and were satisfied with ones that had no impact or authority such as the agriculture, culture, youth and sports. Only in the last two did they get the health once and the work one.

As long as the "sovereign" team, who happens to obey foreign powers, will do what the Americans and the Saudis demand, we have to have at least for a price in return to moving with their same choice too..or else why support and vote him and get nothing in return?

🇸🇾 Ever since Bachar al-Assad's administration collapse, sectarian Syrian Sunnis have been visiting the tomb of Sayyed Zainab and disrespecting it.

They either chanted for Bani Ummayah or Omar, or sat inside and boasted about "who is she, we are here now", and worse.

They are acting like pigs.

It reached to a situation for these Sunnis to come to the shrine, and curse Sayyed Hassan openly and publicly. These people have no respect or dignity

Curse on Bani Ummayah and the so-called Muslim Ummah. A bunch of sectarian cunts, whose whole identity is support tyrant caliphates and takrifing Shia and anyone who isn't from thier creed

🇱🇧 Lebanese Forces party MP Nazih Matta on foreign interference in the presidency:

Since we need them, we have to accept the Americans, Qataris and Saudis giving their opinions on the matter.

🇱🇧 Independent pro-West MP Paula Yacoubian:

"There are very strong, unprecedented external pressure. International pressure has reached the point of either these names for president or you are free (abandoned).

It is being said directly, you are free, but there are repercussions for electing any name outside the names proposed."

🇱🇧 Independent MP of Palestinian origin Waddah Al-Sadiq on the presidency:

"Let us see who the Arab and international community and the Lebanese people have confidence in and we will go with this option."

🇱🇧 MP Ibrahim Mneimneh: Amos Hochstein, during the meeting, linked aid and support to Lebanon to who Lebanon will elect for president whether they consider him trustworthy or not.

The moderator comments: Is this link a bit humiliating?!

🇱🇧 Lebanese army commander becomes the president in Lebanon with an absolute majority.

The first vote was intentionally foiled by Hezbullah and Amal who voted with white papers, then during the two hours break met Aoun to get guarantees.

In the second round where it enough to win with 86 votes, he got about 99.

I'll cover the vote later today.

📹 Old video but denoscriptive

In the first round, the Hezbullah and Amal Movement duo chose to vote with a blank ballot, awaiting pledges from Army Commander Joseph Aoun and the Saudi, American and French envoys regarding:

- the management of the country in the next phase
- reconstruction issues
- the government
- the Ministry of Finance
- the defense strategy
- the name of the next Army Commander.

These are important, especially the name of the new army commander.

The world’s pressures did not succeed in forcing them to proceed without a deal and an agreement. Any other talk is just to obfuscate.

This decision in the first round was to tell everyone that there is no president without our approval.

Pledges are made, an agreement is reached, and then the Army Commander is elected President of the Republic.

🇱🇧 More details. Read both posts well. Hezbullah and Amal secured a checkmate

The international envoys imposed their candidate on everyone through pressure, but they negotiated with the Shia duo.

Four sessions were held with Saudi advisor Yazid bin Farhan, the last of which was yesterday morning with Ali Hassan Khalil, the deputy of Amal movement then today in the parliament two hours before the session.

Then a meeting took place between the duo and the president Aoun.

The gist of it was that you can talk to us, but you cannot bypass us.

In the end, with all the bravado and threats, the duo had the final say on the President of the Republic file.

The Ministry of Finance will remain with the duo, and Saudi Arabia has committed to the reconstruction file with guarantees.

🇱🇧 From the consultations between a number of MPs from the Amal-Hezbullah duo before the second round of the presidential election session

Everyone wants to claim a victory in this election, great, let everyone be satisfied.

The only difference some were forced to vote for him, like the majority of the Lebanese parties, while some struck a deal and did what is best for Lebanese internally.

FPM, Hezbullah, and Amal, Franjieh, the actual patriots and actual nationalists.

🇱🇧 Head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc, Muhammad Raad:

Delaying our vote for His Excellency the President is to send a message that just as we are protectors of sovereignty, we are also protectors of national accord.

🇱🇧 The "so-called nationalist" George Ghanem to Sar Al Waqt:

"The Lebanese love and demand foreign intervention since the time of the Mutasarrifate and Greater Lebanon until today"

🇱🇧 Head of the Kataeb party MP Sami Gemayel:

"I proved that no one influenced me. I sat with the Saudi and the American and they said clearly: "Either a president comes who we trust and who will protect you from Iran and Israel, or you shouldn't rely on us.'"
