The director of the French foreign intelligence (DGSE), Bernard Emie, at that time in 2005 when he was ambassador to Lebanon, suggested Najib Mikati to become the caretaker PM, who did become.

And in 2020, the same director of intelligence suggested Mustafa Adib, to become the PM.

That tweet was not projection or fake. The political opinion of the locals there is known, and the ones working there (NGOs) are known. I was not faking news and calling them pro Lebanese forces because I wanted to shape a narrative... it's because they are.
