Hasbani: All options open after US elections
Former Deputy Prime Minister Ghassan Hasbani emphasized that Lebanon's failure to fulfill its commitments regarding arms restriction poses a significant risk, as the issue could be handed over to other countries, harming Lebanon's interests. He pointed out that some Lebanese fear confronting Hezbollah and denied the existence of a unified official stance against the party, noting that Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri is essentially stalling in front of the international community and within Lebanon. He clarified that the Lebanese state remains the sole and legitimate negotiator, with President Aoun directly handling the matter. Hasbani also mentioned the divergence in U.S. positions, highlighting that the American administration may back away from escalating tensions with Iran due to factors like oil prices and the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. He indicated that Lebanon and Israel's relations with the U.S. and the Gulf states are nuanced, with expectations that the issue might be revisited after the midterm elections.
