🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Jews reveal their true color, and confirm they will never leave the 5 Lebanese hills regardless of the results of diplomatic negations with Lebanon

Jewish Defense Minister Israel Katz says the IDF will stay at five strategic points in southern Lebanon "indefinitely," regardless of negations over 13 disputed points on the border.

During an assessment yesterday with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and other top military officials, Katz "clarified that the IDF will remain at the five points that control the buffer zone in Lebanon, indefinitely, for the sake of protecting the residents of the north, and this is without any connection to future negotiations on points of dispute on the border," his office says.

Katz instructed the IDF to fortify its positions at the five strategic points and prepare to stay there for a long period, his office adds.

The IDF presence there voids the ceasefire agreement and voids the 1701

🇱🇧 And while Israel is at its height announcing a permanent occupation and while the Lebanese army is still begging the UN to remove a sand barrier created by the IDF inside Lebanon...

...the Christian Ministers in the Lebanese government have demanded the gov set a timetable to enforce the full disarmament and confiscation of Hezbullah's weapons

.... subliminally in hopes to eventually drive Lebanon into full surrender and normalization with Israel

In Lebanon, after the civil war where the Christian parties dragged Lebanon into its bloodiest era without any repercussions...

...the balance of power shifted toward the council of ministers and not the presidency which was the most powerful seat in the state and headed by a Christian

However despite that, Christians in Lebanon maintained an exceptional representation that extends from the president, to the head of the central bank, to the head of the Army and most level #1 jobs in the government and state.

Despite that, most appointments are meant to be discussed within the minister of council and in coordination with the PM.

What's interesting and what has happened, is that president Aoun whose election itself is not "constitutionally sane" has picked the new heads of security services alone and didn't consult the PM Nawaf Salam nor the minister of councils.

He alone picked the Christian positions, and for the Shia ones, consulted with Nabih Berri. Shia get the Head of General security and the deputy Head of state security.

So far, Aoun has been treating Berri well in terms of Shia state positions.

Nawaf had no say, and the government accepted the nominations without any protest.

The Lebanese Forces party who assumes they won the situation after the war, and now back in the government with 4 seats was also not consulted and they voiced "questions" but eventually didn't dare protest.

According to MTV, the LF party "had questions" but the council didn't allow discussion.

So where did Aoun get this much momentum and power?

🇱🇧l🇺🇸l🇸🇦 The Council of Ministers, which appointed new leaders for the security services (March 13, 2025), recorded two serious violations accompanying the security appointments file, which affect the Lebanese state's constitution and sovereignty:

- foreign interference
- the exclusion of the Council of Ministers, its Prime Minister, and the relevant ministers from the discussion

Beirut Review has learned that President Joseph Aoun unilaterally selected the two Christian officers who assumed command of the army and State Security.

He consulted with Speaker Nabih Berri regarding the names of the two Shiite officers (General Security and Deputy Director of State Security), without consulting the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister (LF)

Regarding the Sunni aspect of the appointments, Beirut Review reports that President Aoun brought with him to Riyadh during his recent visit several files containing the names of Sunni candidates for security positions, along with their CVs.

He discussed these names with Saudi officials, headed by Prince Yazid bin Farhan.

According to sources, the result was approval of the name Aoun proposed for the General Directorate of Internal Security.

This step indicates that the decision in this regard was not a sovereign Lebanese one, but rather was governed by Saudi "inspirations," raising questions about the independence of Lebanese decision-making, as promised by the "new era."
👍22👀8👎3🫡1
Most dangerous in this context, Beirut Review sources indicated that the Americans are behind keeping the current Army intelligence director in his position, despite the president's attempts to persuade them to appoint another name on the grounds that "it would be better for you."

These facts prove, once again, the existence of a Saudi-American tutelage over Lebanon.

The most worrying aspect of the appointments is the violation of the Lebanese Constitution, with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Defense Minister Michel Menassa, and the Interior Minister (who was appointed by the President of the Republic) excluded from the security appointments scene.
🤬29👍8👎1🫡1
And as you'd expect, the hypocrites in the Lebanese Forces party didn't know how to justify their position.

After claiming they were consulted, they issued statement saying they protested the appointments made and the mechanism

However the situation gets more embarrassing for them, especially after they failed to secure the sovereignty over other civil war era Christian jobs.

Notably this time? The airport jobs
👍18👎3👀2🫡1
In brief, there were new positions appointes for the Lebanese Civil Aviation, another Lebanese state institute dominated by Christian-only positions.

However this time, several seats were stripped from them, and all the LF could make excuses.

With all love to my Christian brothers and sisters in Lebanon, in pro-ending the 50/50 distribution and the dominated #1 level jobs for them. It should be based on merit and not forced.

FPM (Aoun) was able to use this as talking point against the LF, for failing to secure Christian representation after they claimed to have the biggest Christian representation and now seated in the government. The beef is all over Twitter

So what exactly happened?

- The general manager was a Christian, he became a Shiite.

- The airport chief was a Christian, he became a Druze.

- The head of the maintenance department is now a Shiite.

- The head of the guidance department is now Shiite.

It's quite funny that despite the results of the war, the loss of Sayyed Hassan, and the high the others felt and their readiness to walk over the carcass of the Shia...this happens.

These are unrelated to Aoun, and done by the Druze minister of Works who is from Joumblat party.

Again, our buddy PM Nawaf Salam is nowhere to be seen, as if he doesn't exist.

See, I'm not very comfortable about the situation and everything feels like a trap. Because it is.

See what's funny, is that FPM and Aoun sabotaged the jobs of Forest rangers because Shia won most (pre-2020) yet the LF is conceding Christians jobs left and right

LF are a narcissist sabotage party, and FPM is one too but more loyal to Lebanon and the Christians.

The Forest Ranger jobs are not part of the 50/50 Christian Muslim quota, and since a majority of Muslims applied then, a majority of Muslims got the jobs. They are not level #1 jobs, not even level #10 lol.

But Aoun and Basil refused to sign the jobs, so people never got their rightfully won jobs. These jobs were applied through a Lebanese state civil work administration and had exams etc.

📸 Talking about PM Nawaf Salam, he was hosting an Iftar.

During it, he mentioned the below:

- The continued Israeli occupation of sites in our south constitutes an assault on our sovereignty and territorial integrity. It also constitutes a violation of Resolution 1701, to which we are fully committed and implementing, and a breach of the cessation of hostilities arrangements approved by the previous government last November.

- In response, we are completing the deployment of our national army, strengthening our cooperation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), and redoubling our political and diplomatic efforts to mobilize Arab and international support to pressure Israel to complete its withdrawal from the remaining Lebanese territories up to our international borders enshrined in the Armistice Agreement.

- We also have no project that is above the state's restoration of the decision of war and peace, the state that has exclusive control over weapons, and which has a duty to extend its authority over all its lands with its own forces, as stipulated in the Taif Agreement.

🇱🇧 Hezbullah's Deputy Executive Council Chairman, Sheikh Ali Damoush, asserted that the attacks and violations of Lebanon's sovereignty are aimed at pressuring it to accept normalization with Israel.

However, the Lebanese people reject this and will not allow it to happen.

Damoush emphasized that the resistance gives the state the opportunity to fulfill its duties toward its citizens, to protect them and prevent attacks against them, and not to be satisfied with mere superficial positions.

He asked, "If the state is responsible for protecting the homeland, what has it done in the face of the daily Israeli violations? At least convince us of the feasibility of the exclusive possession of weapons by the state."

He concluded by emphasizing that the existence of the occupation means that weapons cannot be restricted to the state alone, emphasizing that defending the homeland is a legitimate right that cannot be relinquished, no matter the sacrifices.

Fun fact:

Do you know that there are senior Lebanese army units and brigades that are paid a monthly salary incentive from the U.S. embassy that is between 600-1000 USD different from their monthly salary from the Lebanese Army?

لم اشتم، بس وصفت حالة.

Vegetable ليست اهانة

بس هي توصيف للإنسان الذي يموت سريراً. و اغلب فلسطينة الداخل و القدس و الضفة، الا القليل القليل، بهذه الحالة من الموت السريري

ثانيا لست بحزب الله، و بذلك حزب الله بريىء مني.

المش برىء انت، انك اتهمت حزب الله عشين منشوري و ساكت على آلاف المناشير و التعليفات عندك التي تطعن حزب الله

حزب الله الذي خسر بهذه الحرب و المقاومة و قدم اغلى ما يقدم، لم يسلم من لسان الكثير
