Tensions in Lebanon
The prominent development in recent hours has been the renewed Egyptian activity through the visit of Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti to Beirut and his meetings with senior officials. Reliable sources confirmed to "Al-Jumhuriya" that his visit, which coincides with intensive internal and external communications to cool the atmosphere, aims at the same direction, namely containing tensions and breaking the escalation wall, and preventing any steps that could exacerbate it. Thus, he does not carry with him any initiative or proposal for a solution in the south, but rather conveyed Egypt's commitment to stand by Lebanon, support its security and stability, and emphasized that Lebanon must do everything that reinforces its security and stability and avoids any escalation.
