And as expected, the Israeli Gulfstream G550 is tracking in the air. https://t.co/rqWD4Q4TNf
The National Agency: The Israeli warplanes carried out an intensive flight in the airspace, at medium altitude, in Tyre and the Palestinian camps, reaching Naqoura airspace in the western sector.
Berri called for a session of the Parliament’s Bureau after tomorrow, Wednesday, and on its agenda is the General Amnesty Law, in addition to other laws.
Yedioth Ahronoth:

In light of the F-35 deal with the UAE: Zionist War Minister Benny Gantz will take off tomorrow on a quick visit to Washington to hold discussions with senior government officials about preserving the military superiority of "Israel" in the Middle East. https://t.co/plFo4Iw7zC
Amir Bohbot:

According to security sources, Benny Gantz will try to return from the United States with an achievement. He did not just fly to update and be updated. The IDF is waiting.
IDF drones are now in the sky after most jets left. They are flying over all southern villages and especially over the border area.
The Syrian ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali: The Lebanese authorities issued today new instructions related to the mechanism for the entry of Syrian citizens from Syria into Lebanon, according to specific conditions, with aim to facilitate and organize the movement. https://t.co/kKphkgrycj
The circulated video is not from Lebanon. https://t.co/Dp08kGAivw
After a situational assessment, DM Gantz has ordered the IDF to prepare to open a field hospital due to the rise in coronavirus hospitalizations

Gantz instructed the IDF to prepare for the construction of a 200-bed field hospital.

The director general of the Ministry of Health said last week: "Establishing a field hospital what a ridiculous idea."
The IDF will establish a special unit for epidemiological investigations that will include 600 soldiers who will come mainly from the education systems and will be headed by a lieutenant colonel. This doubles the number of soldiers, which today stands at only 300.
A voice note is circulating on WhatsApp talking about UN vehicles retreating from Lebanon (Beirut?)

@stefanodelcol any truth to any change in deployment in Beirut? https://t.co/UcvxsacuuQ

Israeli warplanes will return today safely, but one day they will all end with the same fate as Ron Arad.

Ron never returned, and no Israeli pilot shall return to the air ever again. https://t.co/gM554TSag7

Sayyed Nasrallah about Hezbollah's air defense, almost a decade ago. https://t.co/5B0MIE0aUj
Important points from the President's speech earlier today.

President Aoun: - There is no near solution on the horizon with the current stiffness in positions; in all the proposed solutions there is a winner and a defeated. https://t.co/LUKaoAKai5
President Aoun: - We have proposed compromise solutions, but they have not been accepted by the two parties; resorting to the constitutional texts and respecting them remains the solution in which there is neither a winner nor a loser.

- There have been four visits of the PM-designate, and he was unable to provide us with any conception, formation, or distribution of portfolios and names.

- Issues have not been solved, which can be summarized as that Adib does not want to take into account the opinion of heads of blocs on naming the ministers, and he proposes a comprehensive rotation.
President Aoun, on the allocation of the Finance ministry:

- The Development and Liberation bloc and the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc insist on having the Finance ministry and on naming its minister as well as all of the other Shiite ministers.

- The Constitution does not state the allocation of any ministry to any sect or party, nor can any minister be granted authority that is not stated in the Constitution.

- [However] it is not permissible to exclude parliamentary blocs from the government formation process, because these blocs are the ones that will grant or withhold confidence in Parliament, even if the lineup is limited to the signature of the PM-designate and the President.

- It is not permissible to impose ministers and portfolios by a team on others, especially since it does not have the majority in Parliament.
President Aoun: - The investigation into Beirut port explosion requires time in order to uncover the people involved.
