“Can I haz bailout?” asks Lebanon’s President. As if such an agreement with Israel were possible with swaths of the country controlled by an Iran-backed terror group, which until a few days ago was the lynchpin for a coalition.
I don’t discount that Aoun himself might want an agreement. But it’s just not possible now. It’s also hard to believe that this wasn’t a trial balloon to the West, as Lebanon struggles to deal with its $93 billion sinkhole of an economy.
Ok, hearing from a few folks that this reporter misquoted Aoun. He didn’t float this. A reporter asked him, and he didn’t dismiss.
