What does the silence of Ortigos mean?

Tony Gibran wrote in Al -central:

It was not remarkable in the tour by the deputy of the American presidential envoy Morgan Ortigos in Beirut yesterday more than the silence applied to him, after the President of the Republic included General Joseph Aoun, the Presidents of the Parliament, the government, Nabih Berri, Nawaf Salam, and the commander of the army, General Rudolph Haykal. While the official leaders met the description of the results of their meetings with them that they were good, constructive and positive, it was understood that the instructions were given to be unified reactions to measure the unified Lebanese position that they talked about before their visit with an unannounced circular, he said by reaching a unified position advised by political and diplomatic references, so the observations about the addresses that were covered by the discussions were known.

This simple equation came to converge and the size of the few leaks that talked about the form and content of the closed meetings that witnessed the official headquarters, which were characterized by bilateral retreats between them and each of them separately, and the accompanying and advisors from both parties excluded from them in an intended and pre -established manner, which suggests that there is something that deserves to be kept around on the basis of “seek help from the success of the needs with secrecy” with the aim of reaching a stage Advanced everyone desires on a base that says that the red lines should be protected by the American administration, which is based on the atmosphere that preceded its visit, which is clear and is no longer hidden from anyone. If she insists on Israel’s security and preventing any threat to her, she is keen to support the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, to the end, as it refuses to lead any decision to bomb the situation in Lebanon and that its keenness on the internal peace is no longer a subject of discussion in any political, security or military club.

On these backgrounds, well -informed political sources revealed to “Al -central” that Ortigos was very frank and made a presentation of the results of her visit to Israel and the atmosphere that prevails in the home front and abroad and is afraid of the spasms that tend to war at any moment, but she managed to curb some of the military minds to some extent. And it informed those who mean it with a series of caveats that cannot be exceeded, especially those related to facilities and public facilities, and what leads to damage to the general infrastructure.

Ortigos pointed out that the Lebanese army is making its utmost efforts to arrange the situation south of the Litani and that its support programs are continuing to the end that provides it with sufficient ability to control the security situation on the area of ​​Lebanon. His mission is not limited to southern Litani and that she trusts the military leadership, given its awareness of the size of the tasks assigned to them and its keenness to enhance the military capabilities to control the borders, public facilities and sensitive areas in the country, waiting for the other security forces to carry out their tasks as soon as possible, and therefore the aid programs that President Trump stopped in many areas in Lebanon and the world, did not and will not include the Lebanese army or the security forces The other is something that everyone should understand.

As for the financial and economic level, Ortigos pointed out that the American position on reforms is no longer a secret and is keen to include various aspects of powers and institutions in Lebanon and that strengthening security is the largest gate towards financial and development and recovery. Hence, she again entered her talk about the illegal weapon and the need to accelerate its collection and end its effects. If the decision to stop the war in the south means that this weapon no longer has any role, and if it is not used at home, there is no need for it, then it will destroy what the army and other security forces do not need and preserves other types. And it ended with the assertion that this matter is not an American condition, but rather one of the conditions of all donor and lending countries as international and regional funds, which is what it explicitly informed of officials of Gulf countries and major financial institutions that follow the details of the situation in Lebanon and know his needs and study how to help him to overcome multiple -faceted crises.

In any case, the sources say that the signal of all Lebanese officials to the positive results of the visit is awaiting scrutiny in some of the few information that leaked from the presidential retreats, it is extremely important, because it has a lot of speech that must remain in the closed rooms, some media may explain the matter in a way that may distort the facts.

In the information that leaked at night, Ortigos was very frank in her meeting with the specialized ministers to the dinner table at the American embassy, ​​where she listened to many details that mean vital vital sectors and is studying the possibility of her to overcome what hinders their progress, especially in social fields, energy, water and information technology.

In summary, diplomatic and political references, along with media sources close to the embassy, ​​are keen to assure “Al -central” that Mrs. Ortigos has changed the method of her dealing with the Lebanese media with a deliberate decision. It will have a new strategy and it will not leave Beirut without providing the outcome of its visit, whether it was forced to hold a press conference or through a detailed statement that can be issued by the American embassy or participating in television episodes and that the matter is under study until it is decided what can be done at the end of the visit.
