Regarding tomorrow's important government session about disarming Hezbullah:

- The Lebanese army submitted their 15-month plan on how to disarm Hezbullah and prepare the forces to do this activity

- The plan is phases that starts with Beirut's Dahyeh and monitoring Hezbullah there to surrender HQs and weapons

- The plan is step by step, planning to start with a phase in Lebanon then asking Israeli to do something for Lebanon. Once they do, Lebanon moves to a next step

- The plan doesn't say we will start X day and end on Y. It's subject to government orders

- Hezbullah and Amal (4 ministers) will participate in tomorrow's session. But if the army's plan is put for discussion, they will withdraw.

- The 5th Shia minister, an independent, plans to stay in the session according to MTV

- U.S envoys failed to get an agreement from Israel to accept Lebanon's gestures, refused to stop attacks or murders to help the Lebanese government gain credibility in its disarming process

- U.S envoys failed to convince Israel with a step for a step plan. Israel continues to build its 5 bases in Lebanon

- Israel rammed up its attacks on all efforts to rebuild in south Lebanon, falsely claiming they are Hezbullah-affiliated

- Israel believes that their attacks and making the south hell, is a push that will help the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbullah by blaming Hezbullah for this instability

- Aoun still claims he is worried and trying to soothe the situation but he isn't actively doing so, hiding behind Nawaf who is openly stubborn and explicitly said that tomorrow's session should appease the K.S.A and U.S.A

- U.S diplomatic sources said that tomorrow's session is a test for the Lebanese army and government

❗️The independent Shia minister Makki has also withdrawn.

The government is effectively without any Shia representation.

The five Shia ministers remain at Baabda Palace while the session continues

They are still there hoping the Gov comes to its senses.

So far, the government is hearing the plan but it is not confirmed it they will vote on it.

Plan might include some obstacles placed by the Army

He did not submit his resignation in writing, but addressed the President of the Republic, saying, "If necessary, I will place my resignation in your care."

Hezbullah's Minister Mohammad Haidar to Al-Jadeed: Minister Mekki did not submit his resignation, but rather submitted it verbally during the session, under the President's mandate.

- Is Lebanon always required to take steps while Israel offers no guarantees or any action?

- The army's defensive capabilities are currently "limited," and it must be strengthened. This can be achieved through several steps.

- The problem with the Israeli enemy must not be turned into an internal Lebanese problem.

Amal Minister Tamara al-Zein to LBCI:

Some media outlets suggest that our departure coincided with the Army Commander's entry, while the truth is that we waited for him to enter, greeted him, praised him, expressed our position, and left.

Even before I spoke, I said I was lucky because every time the Army Commander arrives, his seat happens to be next to mine.

The Army finished delivering its plan to the government.

The Army commander left the Government session before it ended

Despite initially promising not to vote and accept the Army plan and only discuss it today, the bastards seem to have voted and accepted the plan

❗️The plan doesn't have a timetable since the Gov decision on 5-Aug already decreed disarming Lebanon before Jan-2026.

The whole world is increasing their arms and weapons, even Arab Gulf states and the U.S is changing its Ministry of Defense to Ministry of War

Yet only the Lebanese cucks want to disarm and become like sheep

🇱🇧 FPM, once a Hezbullah Ally continues its attacks on Hezbullah and today issued a statement condemning the Lebanese government's shaky action against Hezbullah and demanding more firmness and more courageous action to move forward with the arm's monopoly law they adopted
Today the deputy head of FPM said that because we need economic relief and this can only happen if Hezbullah is disarmed, then Hezbullah should be disarmed. Else, we wouldn't care

This comes after Basil himself said that Hezullah should disarm because his weapons lost the power to deter.

This shows you how their relationship with Hezbullah was only because of his strength, and once he lost it, they abandoned him

They had no integrity or moral compass, mo faith fulness to this ally. Once this ally became weak, they abandoned him.

I find it particularly amazing when they say Hezbullah's 2023 war is the reason to abandon him

Well Hezbullah's 2006 war was as destructive and at a moment that was even more critical in Lebanon's history after Hariri's murder and Syria's withdrawal during also an Israeli war on Gaza.

Why did they ally then? Unfortunate that everyone abandoned Hezbullah expect Amal

And this shows to tell FPM, why Hezbullah always put Amal in #1 place over FPM because Sayyed Nasrallah was smart and knew who is a true friend and who might betray

❗️The Army's plan is 5 phases that starts in south of that Litani river and needs 3 months then expans to Lebanon

Includes Syria border security, disarming Palestinian camps, confiscating weapons all over Lebanon and ensuring more illegal weapons.

If the government wants a true exit, they should start with south of the Litani as they already are doing, secure full Israeli withdrawal and end of hostilities then continue north of the Litani

Else, they are throwing us into hell and doing Israel what it demands in preparation to occupy south Lebanon again

Not too bad...not too good

There is room to work still

It's something to hate Hezbullah and Palestinians

It's something else to feel pleasure from the Israeli sadistic actions in Lebanon and Palestine

A mentality that I will still need to understand and haven't yet, in regards to those Lebanese
