Will hopefully translate tomorrow how the USA tried to blackmail the head of the biggest parliamentary bloc in Lebanon, Gebran Basil, with sanctions if he doesn't adhere to their demands regarding internal Lebanese affairs.
Al Jadeed: Tony Haddad is the one accused of betraying the Free Patriotic Movement and instigating the imposition of sanctions on Bassil to break his association with Hezbollah, adding that he sought to participate in the Lebanese delegation negotiating on the maritime borders.
🇸🇾 SANA:

4 American occupying soldiers were killed after their vehicle was targeted with an explosive device on Al-Hasakah Road, Deir Ezzor, Syria.
Wonder why the Israeli occupiers are happy about this meme, as if their prime minister has ever changed.

Netanyahu: 18 June 1996 – 6 July 1999 and then 31 March 2009 till today. https://t.co/aqXtUcDFvW
UAE started to sell Israeli products in its markets.

Director of the American Middle East Coalition for Democracy Tom Harb: More than 800 names have been submitted to the US Department of State from Lebanon about personalities who have ties to Hezbollah by Lebanese themselves in exchange for money.
MTV: The sanctions on Bassil have become a major factor in the government formation process.

Note: US disrupted the formation of the government with Adib and now did the same with Hariri's.
Due to the economic situation and pressure on some ministers (namely the interior minister) the Coronavirus taskforce is tending to adopt a partial lock instead of a full scale lockdown.
Israeli Media: Maari'v:

A Zionist security official said that we should benefit more from the USA in Lebanon by making the USA deny them aid unless they standup to Hezbullah's accurate missile program. https://t.co/m6kXloZfnR
Wednesday will be the fourth round of indirect negotiations to demarcate the maritime borders:

1- Lebanon demanded the restoration of 2,290 km² of occupied water.

2- The enemy refuses to negotiate outside of the 860 km² range

3- The Americans are pressuring Lebanon through the ambassador and the UN coordinator.

In this picture, you can see rocks that the Israeli side considers islands where the border should start. Yet, they aren't islands.
The Palestinian one.

The Jordanian one. https://t.co/dr9n4ZBNCl
