Lebanese Presidencies Working on Political and Field Initiative Involving Army and Negotiating Delegation with Israel

Political sources reported to Al Jadeed that:

The first and third presidencies are working on forming a two-part initiative, consisting of a political track and a field track.

The field track concerns the need for the Lebanese Army to operate across all Lebanese territories.

Discussions are ongoing between the first and third presidencies regarding the army’s adherence to the government decision, especially following the recent statement by the Army Commander, which sparked controversy.

A civilian delegation will be formed to negotiate directly with Israel outside Lebanese territory, most likely in Cyprus.

UN Special Coordinator in Lebanon, Jeanine Plasschaert, is expected to travel to Israel for talks and will return to Lebanon to meet with President Michel Aoun.
