Lebanese Concerns Await US and Israeli Elections

The article addresses Lebanon's concerns over the persistent deadlock in the political and security files with Israel, due to the failure to schedule the eighth round of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations, which is expected to be held in Rome at the beginning of September. This delay is attributed to the American role in controlling the timing of the meeting, which depends on achieving a political breakthrough by Israel to push negotiations forward before the upcoming Israeli elections on October 27 and the US midterm elections. The success of the mediation efforts relies on Washington's pressure to ensure the implementation of the "Framework Agreement"; otherwise, the situation will remain stalled even after the elections, exacerbating Lebanon's economic and social crises. This is particularly pressing amid continued Israeli escalation on the Tal al-Tahir hills and the mobilization of Israeli forces along the border areas. A question arises about the extent of Hezbollah's commitment to its weapons and strategy, amid increasing Israeli fears that threaten to escalate attacks on resistance areas, with the party's stance on responding to Israeli assaults or relinquishing its arms remaining unclear. Meanwhile, the withdrawal from Tal al-Tahir hills is viewed as a crucial step to enable the implementation of the "Framework Agreement" and restore political calm, which have become at risk of collapse if the escalation persists.
