France calls on Lebanon again to form a government fast and adopt urgent reforms, warning that if this is not done, the country faces the risk of vanishing.

"The danger today is the disappearance of Lebanon, and therefore these measures must be taken." https://t.co/Bob5zWMjg4
There are currently reports that indicate that the central bank is going to raise the official rate of the dollar to 3,900 LL

If true, all products that were being sold until today at 1,515/$ will increase in price by X 2.5

That's tuition fees, fuel, bread, and electricity etc.

A large amount of smuggled cigarettes and hookah معسل was busted by the "Regie" agency.

Smuggling of this is decades old, but since the inflation, most of the people are buying smuggled cigarettes and hookah.

The UN security council will be voting on Friday 28th for the renewal of the UNFIL mandate, ending on Aug.

Lebanon refuses any change to its tasks, while the USA and Israel are trying to turn it into an occupying force able to enter to private property and raid private homes. https://t.co/vf5A80LgmP
We have all been monitoring this situation for months and we all know it has been US patrols blocking Russia's access to the north.

The off-road chases started when Russia stopped accepting USA's blocking and started going off-road to avoid thar so the US started chasing. https://t.co/W9jqjcCAfs
The funny part is that those US MRAPs are not designed for off-road and have suffered a roll over related death last time.

The video is clear, who was chasing who, and who was the first to ram (USA to Russia).

That aside, USA is illegally there in Syria and needs to leave.
The Banque du Liban requires banks to search for clients who have transferred more than $500k abroad since 1/7/2017 until today, to deposit an amount equivalent to 15% of this transferred value on a private account for five years, so as to enhance liquidity reserves.

This applies to the chairmen and members of the boards of directors, to the major shareholders of banks, to the higher executive management of banks, and to bank customers who are politically affiliated.

Note: Important step that will help if it happens. https://t.co/7bgpazWuk2
Israeli journalist Shimrit Meir:

"Hezbollah, according to close journalists, does not intend to calm until an Israeli soldier is killed. It will take some time, and every Israeli response will have a response from their side."

She's qouting Al Akbar.

Amos Yadlin - The National Security Institute:

"Nasrallah is determined to continue the attempt to strike the IDF soldiers in order to establish a deterrent equation that limits the battle activities between the Israeli wars in Syria."

" Hizbullah's repeated attacks [note: the resistance denies any action] and statements in the media indicate that Hezbollah is neither deterred nor fearing an Israeli response."
