🇸🇾 Repeating his remarks from December, the new Syrian Leader says we respect the 1974 ceasefire agreement with Israel and invite the UN back to the buffer zone inside Syrian territory.

He also stressed that he cannot understand Israel's actions, considering their pretext was against Hezbullah and Iran and today there is none left in Syria.

In other news, according to @Middle_East_Spectator the HTS-led Syrian Transitional Govermment has officially banned Iranian and Israeli nationals from entering the country.

Unironically, Russians weren't banned despite playing an instrumental role in training the Syrian Army and their extensive air campaign that helped Assad and was responsible for many civilian casualties, as they report.

💵 Banque du Liban collected $210-300 million over two weeks in January after the election of a new president and prime minister.

Lira in circulation increased by 18.5 trillion, indicating that BDL withdrew dollars from the market as residents gambled on a lira appreciation.

This didn't happen and the local currency is still pegged to 89,000 LBP

🇱🇧 Geagea, Head of the Lebanese Forces Party:
"We are all from the October 17 people, and today the victor is everything that was part of reform and change."


Hopefully it is clear now why Hezbullah asked the Shia to leave the protests, even though many were part of it.

The 17-Oct protests were against Aoun, not against corruption. Its pillars were the political parties who leeched people's real grieve and need for change

📸 Alleged photos form the planning of the burial site of Sayyed Hassan and Sayyed Hashem.

(Sayyed Hashem was meant to be buried with Sayyed Hassan, but they found in his will he wants to be buried in his hometown in south Lebanon)

Sayyed Hassan is expected to be buried on 16-Feb, during Hezbullah's annual martyred leadership commemoration event.

The tomb and visiting area will be built around the grave eventually, similar to that of Sayyed Abbass in north east Lebanon.

🇱🇧l🇾🇪 From today's speech by Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the leader of Ansarrallah

- With the Palestinian steadfastness, the support fronts emerged in multiple arenas

- The greatest sacrifice within the framework of the support fronts was for Hezbollah in Lebanon, and it was a very strong and influential front that reached a comprehensive war with the Israeli enemy

- Hezbullah presented in the support fronts what the nation did not present in any of its fronts, nor in any of the regions

- There is no system or group that presented sacrifices like Hezbullah, headed by the martyr of Islam and humanity, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, may God be pleased with him

- Hezbullah presented many martyrs from leaders, cadres and mujahideen as well as from the people, and contributed a real contribution to the battle against the Israeli enemy

- The Iraqi front contributed well to supporting the Palestinian people

🇮🇱 Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is set to deliver a statement in 30 minutes.

He could possibly resign, because the current ceasefire paves the way to end the war on Gaza.

Israeli officials, want to get the hostages and continue the war. The Minister of finance Smotrich will resign also if Netanyahu doesn't agree to renew fighting afterwards.

Despite this pressure, and the deal being inked, Netantahy will not be able to walk back from the ceasefire agreement.

Trump's pressure on him and on Israel was crucial in forcing him to agree. Israel agreed to the same terms which Hamas presented half a year ago.

🇱🇧l🇺🇳 The General-Secretary of the UN in a statement:

I have arrived in Beirut on a visit of solidarity with the Lebanese people.

A window has opened for a new era of institutional stability with a State fully able to protect its citizens and a system that would allow the tremendous potential of the Lebanese people to flourish.

We will do everything to help keep that window open wide.

📸 An Iraqi Kurd (Turd), a Pole, and a Ukrainian

There is something very reassuring for the people of Gaza in these disagreements, as these occured because of the two are demanding that Netanyahu make a written promise to resume the war after the end of the first stage.

If Netanyahu had made this promise, the disagreement would not have occurred and we would not have reached this turmoil.

This is evidence that Netanyahu will not be able to resume the fighting after the end of the first stage.

This is but one of many challenges.

You can manufacture things in Lebanon, but not everything. It'll be a nightmares for Shiekh Naim Qassem to rebuild Hezbullah back and rebuild it back to previous power.

Worse, these new geographical restrictions are going to force Hezbullah to expose itself because of the need to overcome them, which will open the way for new Israeli attempts to trick Hezbullah to accept weapon shipments that they could facilitate but is either Boody-trapped or wiretapped.

For that, inspection and disassembly is how to foil them.

For this exact shipment, it was most likely not directed by Hezbullah or Iran, but some Syrian who was allied to them and offered to sell/transport them from Syria and Lebanon.

The shipment is a mix, and the drones were never used in Lebanon. These were used by the Iraqis in Syria and Iraq.
