CORE SUBJECT

Expectations of an Israeli strike on Lebanon and diplomatic reactions

Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon.

There was a notable coolness among some foreign diplomatic entities regarding the heated expectations of a large-scale Israeli strike, as they did not confirm that the level of translating threats into such a strike matched the actual preparations for it, and that Israel bases any option solely on considerations it holds independently.

In this context, concerned circles believe that today's second meeting of the Mechanism Committee will serve as an initial indicator of the general climate before moving to the next phase, following the resolution of the joint Israeli-American stance on Lebanese positions, whether related to the completion of the disarmament in southern Litani or the long-term negotiation aspect.
