Writer and political analyst Wajdi Al-Aridi expected that “the next two weeks will be decisive, as Lebanon will either plunge into war up to its ears, and cities, villages, and vital installations will be destroyed, as was the case in 2006, and perhaps much similar, or it will survive it and be, as they say, the Lebanese way.” “The stumbling upon me is their departure.”
In an interview with “Lebanon Debate,” Al-Aridi said: “This scenario led Gaza to what it is today, from a destroyed city and a convoy of martyrs beyond description, to a large-scale displacement process, but that was very carefully studied by international and regional players at a time when Lebanon Until now, he has been sane due to a set of circumstances and facts that are understood by everyone far and near.”
He added, “My information indicates that there were meetings with Iranian and Lebanese officials by international actors, and they were told that if missiles fell deep inside Israel and an American soldier fell, and there were Israeli casualties, then the United States is the one who will give permission to destroy Lebanon, not just Israel.” This message was also conveyed by the French, and the US President’s envoy, Amos Hockstein, but in a less harsh language and somewhat soft, because Hockstein has close friendships and relations with most political authorities.”
He continued, “We in Lebanon are facing a major turning point. Either we will lose this country within months, if the influx of displaced people of different nationalities continues, especially since the information confirms that the Grad missiles were emptied from Palestinian warehouses in all the camps, including those that were in the tunnels and are now in… The south, and we returned not to Fatah Land, but to La Land on a different level and level, and then Lebanon will return to what it was in the seventies and more,” considering that “this is Hezbollah’s responsibility because it is the one who commands and forbids.”
He believed that “this issue burdens the Lebanese people, and is dangerous in changing the face of Lebanon,” pointing out that “had it not been for the efforts, endeavors, and role of the Acting Director General of Public Security, Major General Elias Al-Bisari, the problems on the border and at home would have greatly worsened, as Major General Al-Bisari is playing a pivotal role and far from the limelight.” And the media, for the sake of this issue and to maintain the security and borders of the country.”
He considered that “there is a quagmire drowning the country, represented by the issue of extending the extension of the army commander, General Joseph Aoun, and the region is witnessing a third world war, and the people in the country are starving and in a state of poverty and destitution, and the people are immersed in the debate whether to extend or not to extend, amidst political and presidential score-settling that is the most dangerous on the internal scene.” .
He continued, “This class and political system, which should have gone years ago, is the one that completes what remains of the components of this country. Unfortunately, there is no longer any political morality, but rather personal and immediate interests and accounts of this and that leader and this and that political party.”
He said: “Whoever attacks the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or the Riyadh Arab and Islamic summits, is ungrateful. Everyone knows that the results of this summit were the best in the history of the Arab summits, as evidenced by the fact that the international community has changed its position on the Gaza war to a great degree. There are demonstrations in the streets and stadiums.” Global and at all levels and levels, and changing the tone of the countries of the world, at the forefront of which is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Guterres.”
He stressed that “there are efforts that are still being pursued by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which indicate that there are threats and firm positions if the war in Gaza does not stop.”
Al-Aridi concluded by saying: “Some in Lebanon are bidding for populism and are more royal than the king, and this indicates my short-sightedness, and not support for the Palestinian cause because the Lebanese cause is the foundation, and everyone is in the end with the central issue, that is, the Palestine issue, for which Lebanon has paid heavy prices and a great cost.” The case is that the bids are sold in the slave market.”
