Israel will not withdraw … What after February 18?


















The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, quoting government officials, announced that “Israel obtained an American permission to stay after the date of the ceasefire at several points in Lebanon,” after Israel had previously informed that its forces should be withdrawn from southern Lebanon and the deployment of the Lebanese army in its place by February 18. What will happen if Israel is extended from the south?

Retired Brigadier Naji Malab indicates that “in principle as long as the Israeli army informed the residents of the settlers in Galilee – north of Israel that they can return from the first of March to the north, and to demand Israel to extend the period, it will not be longer than a few days.”

And stadiums, in an interview with MTV, continue: “The period that was given until February 18 was announced in Washington, and this means that the head of the Censorship Committee of Application of 1701, which is the American, is the one who raised the decision and agreed to this extension. So the former Lebanese government did not object to this extension. ”

He adds: “If the extension is only for days, I think that it will not be announced only in coordination between the Lebanese army and the honorable committee, and its result will withdraw the Israeli army from all Lebanese lands, which no one will object to. At a time when Israel is trying to stay at 5 high points, the Americans are seeking to replace Israeli soldiers with Americans, which will open the efforts of calm in the south, and open a room for Lebanese objections.

“It is clear that the political vacuum that was previously the days of the caretaker government is no longer present, and today the President of the Republic is demanding a full withdrawal and his international relations are good and large, in addition to that, there is an official Lebanese interest that was not previously present, especially after the formation of the government headed by Nawaf Salam . As long as the withdrawal can be final, even if the period is extended, I do not think that there will be an objection from Lebanon.

Stadiums also consider that “if the Israeli army behaves as they act in Syria, I think that things will take in Lebanon another course and there will be resistance to the occupation. This resistance will not recede with “Hezbollah” and the men of the south, as there is room for resistance in coordination with the Lebanese army if the occupation remains.
