Lebanon-Israel Framework Deal Faces Push for UN Security Council Resolution

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, reliable sources have revealed an effort to convert the understanding known as the ‘Framework Agreement’ between Lebanon and Israel into a resolution by the United Nations Security Council. These informed sources, associated with Al Mayadeen, stated that influential political factions within Lebanon are aiming to elevate the ‘Framework Agreement’ to the status of an international resolution issued by the UN Security Council. If this initiative succeeds and is adopted as an international decree, Lebanon would be obligated to establish direct coordination between its army and the occupying regime’s forces.

These sources further indicated that France is playing a role in advancing this endeavor as part of preparations for a potential role by French forces in Lebanon following the conclusion of UNIFIL’s mission. Al Mayadeen, citing these sources, emphasized that the attempt to transform the framework agreement into an international resolution will encounter substantial international obstacles, most notably the possibility of vetoes from Russia and China. The proposed structure centers on the abrogation of resolutions 1701 and 1559, replacing them with the framework agreement, contingent upon its transformation into a new resolution by the Security Council.

The sources clarified that obligating Lebanon to direct coordination between its army and the occupying regime’s forces could precipitate widespread internal conflicts and strife. Influential political circles within Lebanon have reportedly utilized this plan to advance it as a political reality, serving as an alternative to the Islamabad agreement. Additionally, sources speaking to Al Mayadeen reported that certain Lebanese circles, in collaboration with several Lebanese parties and their external lobbies, are endeavoring to solidify this resolution as a new political pathway.
