“Lebanon Debate"
The annual anniversary celebrated by France in Normandy is around the corner. This year, it will witness a summit between President Emmanuel Macron and Joe Biden. The summit is expected to tackle many issues, notably the war between Russia and Ukraine or the war between Gaza and Israel. However, the Lebanese file will hold significant prominence, with French pressure and many surprises awaiting.
Sources stated that “the celebration will take place in Normandy on June 6th, as is customary each year. On the 7th, they will move it to Paris, where Joe Biden will undertake a visit.” These sources also referred to significant items that will be brought up at this summit, starting with the Ukrainian issue. Especially since the Ukrainian president will be present at the Normandy celebration for the first time as a challenge to Russia. Of course, this topic will take precedence among the items that will be discussed during the summit."
However, according to the sources, the content of this matter is mundane, as both parties will try to further advance the presidential file within an action plan. This plan is expected to address the issue of imposing sanctions on those deemed to be obstructing the election of a new president for Lebanon. This includes indications of potential sanctions against Speaker of the Parliament, Nabih Berri. This information seems quite serious.
The sources refer to "the assurances conveyed by US President’s adviser Amos to Berri in this regard. However, they believe that in the world of public policy, it's unpredictable how countries may act."
They further explain that “a faction within the US administration is advocating for sanctions against Berri. This information has reached Berri through subtle hints on multiple occasions. Following these indirect cues, the Speaker began to grasp the seriousness of the situation.
From this standpoint, the sources suggest that "the summit will likely address in its communiqué the threat of punishing the obstructionists. It will stress that these sanctions are one of the means to arrange the situation in Lebanon," considering that "the summit will be a turning point and a more serious approach to the subject."
