2/ France wanted no part of #GreaterLebanon, and long into the eleventh hour, the Quai d'Orsay kept insisting on #PetitLiban. Here's a little snippet from a classified memo #Grouraud sent to the #MAE in June 1920, reflecting France's UNDERSTANDING of #History in the #LongueDurée:

Koubeissi’s candidacy is to ensure that the Alternative Press Syndicate can monitor the elections, as they revealed that there were many violations “most notably that the head of the Order himself is running, as well as supervising the #elections.”

🇱🇧Aoun calls on🇸🇦Saudi Arabia for a president other than #Hariri...& Washington for a comprehensive change. The official #Lebanese position, President Michel Aoun in particular has shifted towards trying to satisfy the Kingdom in search of a horizon for forming a government 1/16
In addition to trying to obtain Saudi satisfaction, Aouni's interest in the US position highlights, & knowing the truth about @POTUS approach to Lebanon. The Trump administration set clear conditions for forming the government & it refused to represent #Hezbollah in it. 2/16
#BREAKING: #Lebanese president Michel Aoun called on PM-desginate Saad Al-Hariri to visit the presidential palace to form a new cabinet immediately or else make way for someone who is able to arab.news/vanfb

🇷🇺Russia fears economic collapse in Lebanon and Syria! Russia is expanding its movement in the ME. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is touring the Gulf states. & before that, the #Russian-#Syrian meetings were continuing. Needless to say, Russia is strongly present in Syria. 1/25
🇷🇺And Russian-#Israeli communication is not interrupted. As well as the Russian-#Iranian relationship. But Moscow fears the repercussions of the new 🇺🇸US policy in the Middle East. 2/25
And it is affected like some Persian Gulf countries, especially the Kingdom of 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia. It is expanding its movement, trying to strengthen its position vis-à-vis 🇺🇸Washington. 3/25
#Hezbollah is examining live accurate ballistic #missile fire in real conditions in northern #Syria. Israel is taking care to destroy precision kits even as they make their way from #Iran to Lebanon and pass through the lands of Iraq and Syria. 1/12
🇮🇱Israel is deeply concerned about Iran's and #Hezbollah's precision project, in which #Iran is helping the Lebanese #terrorist organization convert hundreds and thousands of missiles, at various ranges, into ones that will be accurate and not statistically accurate. 2/12
How the 🇮🇱Israeli defense deals with the threat of #Hezbollah's precision missiles.

Situation in #Tripoli #Lebanon deteriorating quickly. Protests that began 2 days ago against lockdown measures and 24 hour curfews to curb the spread of #coronavirus have disintegrated into gun fights. #LebanonProtests
For many Tripolitanians & other #Lebanese staying at home simply means no food at the table. More than 50% of #Lebanese are below the poverty line now. #Tripoli has one of the highest percentage of urban poverty in #lebanon
Even though #Lebanese politicians & decision makers have been warning about need for harsh lockdown measure, they have done little to put in place the proper social safety net measures needed to make sure people can survive. What is now in place is simply too little & quite late
Thread: 1/ Hezbollah just proved accurate #Netanyhu UN speech revealing 3 missile factories next to or under civilian homes. After speech, in effort to debunk, #Hezbollah gave tour of site. Tour video shows IT IS A MISSILE FACTORY, w/ missile production machines clearly visible.
2/ My article explains that #Hezbollah by placing missile factories next to or under civilian homes (apartment buildings here) is clearly using those civilians as human shields, which is a war crime under international law, prohibited by Geneva Convention. fdd.org/analysis/2020/…
3) In the face of such evidence, POTUS is required to impose sanctions on #Hezbollah officials by the Sanctioning the Use of Civilians as Defenseless Shields Act (Shields Act), which passed Congress unanimously and became law in 2018.
Watching defiant @EmmanuelMacron press conference, standing by #Lebanon, and clearly blame #Hezbollah and his allies.
But he offers nothing about what’s next?

PM-designate Mustapha Adib after the end of non-binding parliamentary consultations: I thank the media that covered this long day
Adib: After the consultations, it became clear that there are more common grounds than disagreements, and any disagreement can be resolved through dialogue; we have to address the imminent problems, including the living crisis, the port explosion, and reforms
Adib: A government of specialists is needed to quickly and professionally address the issues at hand and gain the confidence of the #Lebanese, and the Arab and international community
#Lebanese army: Medical needs, medications, and vaccines accounted for 68 percent of the aid that reached #Lebanon
#Lebanese army: About 43,000 food rations were distributed to residents of the areas affected by the explosion in #Beirut
Lebanese army: The principle of transparency remains the standard of our work regarding the publication of how aid is being received and distributed
French presidential source: The #Lebanese authorities are cooperating with us in the investigations of #Beirut Port
French presidential source: We expect #Hezbollah to avoid any action resembling the 2006 war
Thread on migrant domestic workers in Lebanon
Amnesty International estimates that more than 250,000 foreigners - or around 8% of the country's working population - live within #Lebanon 's kafala system, a form of employment sponsorship and contract which gives all the power to the sponsor spiegel.de/international/…
#Lebanon ’s economic crisis, exacerbated by #Covid19, and more recently the Beirut explosion, “has sparked a distressing phenomenon of...migrant domestic workers being fired & dumped outside their country's consulate.” google.com/amp/s/amp.fran…
