War versus war… a “remarkable attack” by delegates to Lebanon

As the end of the war on Gaza approaches and the search for prolonging the humanitarian truce begins, the American movement in Israel and the region returns to the forefront, in parallel with the Iranian search and from Beirut first and then Qatar second, under the same title, which is a permanent ceasefire, and preventing a fierce war that has begun to prepare. It has Israel, and it may be bloodier than the previous stage.

In the few hours between the end of this truce, which was reflected on the southern front, the internal arena is witnessing a race against time, between the diplomatic envoys, to maintain the current reality in the south, and with it Resolution 1701, despite all the violations it has been exposed to over the past weeks.

Informed diplomatic sources say that the equation of war versus war and truce versus truce is currently prevailing, awaiting some shift in the currently blocked political horizon, despite the small window opened by the Qatari and American mediations in their efforts to overcome the complex that almost toppled the prisoner exchange deal.

Diplomatic sources indicate to “Lebanon Debate” that this movement also applies to the equation of the southern front, in light of the “attack” of delegates after last October 7, in order to convey warning messages about the danger of this front sliding into war, and then participate in the efforts aimed at To establish a more than temporary truce.

In this context, the sources include the recent visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, the visit of French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian expected on Wednesday, and the visit of an American envoy in the coming days, as they consider that these envoys are active in converting the temporary truce into a ceasefire, independently of… Political solutions, at least for now.

Hence, the efforts of these delegates, although they were in the context of consolidating a ceasefire in Gaza as well as in southern Lebanon, as diplomatic sources reveal, were not without directing messages from the Lebanese arena specifically to the capitals concerned with the decision on the Lebanese and Palestinian arenas, which is what appeared to be the case. This is clearly evident in the positions expressed by Minister Abdullahian, from Beirut as well as from Qatar, which he later visited, in which he rejected, first, any solutions imposed from abroad on the Gaza Strip in this arena, and second, the confirmation of the reality of the truce in the south if the United States of America maintained its path. Controlling any Israeli decision to escalate its attacks on the south.
