Lebanon Debate
Pope's Tanks Count Sparks Comment
Deputy Jamil al-Sayyed criticized the reliance on the Vatican's influence to pressure Israel into implementing the framework agreement and halting its attacks on Lebanon, considering the presidential move necessary but insufficient, especially given the setbacks in American efforts. He stated that Israel would only respond to diplomatic pressure if supported by more effective leverage tools, citing a historical analogy to express his belief that the Vatican lacks military tools and does not have direct influence in negotiations but benefits from a broad diplomatic network. al-Sayyed pointed out that President Aoun's stance emphasizes the need to support international community efforts and keep pressure on Israel, but he doubted the Vatican's ability to achieve results that the United States, which exerts direct pressure on Israel, has not attained. He affirmed that Aoun's calls are part of an attempt to expand the network of political pressure rather than relying solely on diplomatic power.
