U.S. Ambassador John Desrocher visited Lebanon today and held bilateral talks with President Michel Aoun, Commander of the Army General Joseph Aoun, and Brigadier General Bassam Yassine, as well as other members of the Lebanese delegation.

This visit comes after the EEZ border negotiations stopped at the demand of the Israeli side.

The visit is an effort to pressure the Lebanese side to compromise its rights and accept less than what it owns.

The exchange rate in Lebanon is virtual. There no actual selling and buying happening.

Someone, an anonymous, claims to have x large amount of dollars and proposes a price. Others then use this new price and so on.

Germany has no debt to pay to Israel. They should move on and end this guilt feeling, as they do not inherent the mistakes of those who came before and already were punished.
Haaretz:

Israeli army officers held coordination talks with their counterparts in the US Central Command for cooperation between the two armies against the backdrop of possible Iranian retaliation.

The Ministry of Health: 22 deaths and 1,842 new COVID-19 cases in Lebanon.
The international (video) conference in support of the Lebanese people opens. The host, French President Macron, says a fund managed by the World Bank is to be set to provide humanitarian support to Lebanon. (Report by @ZeinakhodrAljaz)

Due to the failure to form a government, the support will go to western and locally funded NGOs and not the Lebanese regime apparatuses.

This will deepen the people's reliance on those NGOs and weaken the system further. Besides, it will not ensure a fair aid distribution.
Remarks:

Macron says Lebanese politicians must form a government to enable reforms otherwise no international help - he says he will return to Lebanon this month to pressure politicians.
