It was evident that the current US administration has stepped up the level of the dangerous game it is playing in Lebanon, after being within the first level, which was “acceptable” to some extent, so that despite its imposition of economic sanctions on Hezbollah did not go to the point of threatening the entire Lebanese situation. However, as soon as France “got excited” and French President Emmanuel Macron made his Lebanese initiative, Washington raised the bar and pushed Lebanon to a dangerous stage. With the French following the Lebanese issue, heavy American pressure on the Lebanese continued under the guise of Hezbollah, until today it reached the final stage before chaos and total collapse. It does not take much analysis to realize that the further the French initiative advanced, the more staggered the US administration, and the announcement of economic sanctions in two stages is only the best proof of this, since they coincided with great advances at the level. government formation to highlight the complex. The two former ministers, Ali Hassan Khalil and Youssef Fenianos, before the arrival of the French presidential envoy, Patrick Dorrell, to Lebanon, to reveal the impact of the sanctions against the representative Gebran Bassil, and the leaked words of the US ambassador in Lebanon, Dorothy Shea, they complicated things. Then arrive Dorrell and take the Beirut transportation tour.
Knowing in advance that Washington is not taking arbitrary measures or resorting to chance in its decisions, what it is doing in Lebanon is very dangerous. For most of the years it has announced that it has set its sights on attacking Hezbollah and won the support of a part of the Lebanese who saw in its economic step a way to encourage Hezbollah tried to reduce its influence, but after this long period, it became clear that everyone was affected by these sanctions … except Hezbollah. After that, the Americans tried to deceive the illusion that the sanctions would affect all those who cooperate with the party financially, politically, socially and healthily, and if they “choose” the punishments according to their agenda, for example: Gebran Bassil and the Director General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim. If we admit that the accusation of corruption is predominant and fundamental, how did the relationship with the party come into play? Did US military, security and financial intelligence documents and evidence only identify these two “corrupt” ones? And if the accusation is the strong and solid relationship with the party, then why should the President of the Republic, the Speaker of Parliament, the resigning Prime Minister, the appointee, and the many ministerial and parliamentary figures who deal with the party, were they also placed on the list of the French President and his envoy to be punished for their meetings with the party directly?
The official media “propaganda” of the Americans failed, through their ambassador, or by other means, to convince anyone that they were only targeting Hezbollah, because the facts on the ground condemn them, not to mention the unusual tone with the who speaks Shia, who is the most acute among those who preceded him in this position since Decades. Regarding the economic and financial impact, the party is the least affected so far by these pressures, while it was assumed that anyone who is not associated with the party, in one way or another, would enjoy an advantage in this regard. Likewise, the influence of the political party has not diminished an inch, and remains unchanged, according to the self-admission of American officials, and no one will expect the reality of the government to change, regardless of the name of the prime minister, in terms of the participation of Hezbollah in it, directly or indirectly, so what are the achievements that the United States has achieved? ?
Major General Ibrahim says that things are going to change in terms of pressures in the short term, it is natural that he has data that nobody else has in this regard, and if his expectations and information are correct, the only way to do that is for them to things have reached the brink of total chaos in Lebanon and the specter of internal warfare returns to it. The US administration was convinced of this, so it decided not to escalate and content itself with freezing its activities in this field, with a less severe approach that the administration of the new president, Joe Biden, is supposed to take if the US presidential transition goes smoothly. problems in the first weeks of the new year.
