Details on the Opposition's Initiative

"Lebanon Debate"

In an upcoming press conference, the opposition plans to announce an initiative before the Lebanese people before communicating it to the International Quintet during a meeting with the five ambassadors at the Pine Palace.

What does this initiative entail, and why announce it before presenting it to the quintet?

Well-informed sources have disclosed to "Lebanon Debate" that the opposition will present two proposals to the Speaker of Parliament, Nabih Berri. One proposal is similar to the initiative of the National Moderation Bloc, while the other calls for a discussion session between rounds.

Sources have also confirmed that these two proposals will be publicly announced by the opposition as a sovereign move before they are formally proposed at the quintet meeting. The timing of this announcement is considered crucial, especially given the region's proximity to a significant settlement. Additionally, the recent election of the new Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, who appears open to dialogue with Saudi Arabia, underscores the importance of the timing.

The sources also suggested that progress is expected on all fronts, particularly with the positive outcome following the defeat of the far-right in the French elections, despite their continued presence.

Despite US President Joe Biden's determination to end the conflict in Gaza and find solutions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be visiting the American Congress before the end of the month, where he is expected to advocate for strong measures against Lebanon.

However, Sources have emphasized that the American administration will not permit actions that could negatively impact Lebanon, and a ceasefire in Gaza appears inevitable as the echoes of this truce on Lebanon will be positive.

In light of these developments, sources indicated that it is crucial to solve the presidential vacuum in Lebanon.
