اجراءات نهائية لتسليح الجيش والهبة السعودية في لبنان "خلال اسبوعين"
Read this story in Englishوقّع الجانب السعودي على الاتفاقية الفرنسية ضمن هبة الثلاث مليارات دولار لتسليح الجيش تمهيداً "لانطلاق التنفيذ الفعلي" على أن تستكمل الجهتان اللبنانية - الفرنسية الثلاثاء التواقيع النهائية، في حين يتسلم الجيش هبة المليار دولار السعودية "خلال أسبوعين أو ثلاثة" بحسب مصادر.
فقد نقلت صحيفة "المستقبل" عن مرجع عسكري، صباح الأحد، أن "الثلاثاء سيعود ملحق الاتفاقية إلى بيروت لاستكمال بعض التواقيع النهائية عليه من جانب قائد الجيش العماد جان قهوجي".
كما لفت إلى أن "رئيس مجلس ادارة الشركة الوسيطة "اوداس" الاميرال ادوارد غييو ابلغ قهوجي أنّ السعودية أنجزت الخميس الفائت التواقيع اللازمة على ملحق الاتفاقية".
وأوضح أن هذه التواقيع ستمهّد " لانطلاق عملية التنفيذ للاتفاقية بشكلٍ فعلي وعملي"، مشيراً إلى أنّ "المرحلة الأولى من عمليات شحن وتسلّم الأسلحة الفرنسية مرتقبة في خلال فترة الشهرين المقبلين"
ويأتي ذلك، بعد ان وقّع قهوجي الاربعاء الفائت على لائحة مواصفات الأسلحة التي سيشتريها لبنان من فرنسا ضمن الهبة السعودية بقيمة ثلاثة مليارات دولار التي اعلن عنها في كانون الاول 2013. وكانت فرنسا قد أكدت، خلال زيارة رئيس الحكومة تمام سلام الى باريس في 9 كانون الاول الجاري، على الانتهاء من دراسة التفاصيل التقنية للهبة لتسليم الاسلحة للجيش "في وقت قريب".
عليه، لفت المرجع عبر الصحفية نفسها، إلى أنّ تنفيذ الهبة سيحتاج إلى مدى زمني أطول من هبة المليار دولار التي قدّمتها السعودية والتي يتولّى رئيس تيار "المستقبل" سعد الحريري الإشراف على تنفيذها.
كما كشف أنّ "أولى شحنات الأسلحة المُدرجة ضمن هذه الهبة ستصل إلى لبنان خلال أسبوعين أو ثلاثة"، متوقعاً أن" تتضمّن مروحيات وطائرات من نوع "سيسنا".
وكان الحريري قد أعلن عن تقديم السعودية هبة بقيمة مليار دولار إلى الجيش والقوى الأمنية لغرض "مواجهة الإرهاب"، بعد الأحداث التي شهدتها عرسال في آب الفائت.

First announced 12 months ago and still no weapons (other than the $1 billion KSA grant). Just send the weapons already.
nickjames, you are very naive if you still believe these weapons will arrive at all. Naharnet posted these articles every week for months now.
When the weapons will arrive you will need yo apologize publicly or better recognize that you had it wrong all the way or even better get lost for good....
If that day ever arrives, it will only be if Geagea becomes President. Which will never happen.
"He expected helicopters and Cessna jets to be included in this shipment"
cessna jets... are we supposed to laugh or cry?
You guys are real amusing, 12 months to deliver weapons? Come on, can't you see that the Saudis are stalling it? They do not want the LAF, to have stronger capabilities in countering the Saudi/french sponsored takfiris.
the only ones to be annoyed by the LAF getting stronger are you paid iranian militia...
If that was so. How come the Iranians have on several occassions offered to arm the LAF? Only ones holding them back, are the Americans and their Israelis.
Saudis on the other hand, will only arm the LAF if Geagea becomes President. True fact
KSA is stalling not necessarily because they want Geagea to become president, but because they're waiting to see who becomes president. In other words, they sure as hell won't give the LAF weapons with Aoun as president and his nephew/son-in-law as commander of the LAF.
so you admit they are trying to influence the presidential elections in lebanon with their aid? or should i say bribe?
either they help lebanon unconditionally, or they can keep their oily money. let them take back their takfiris actually and we'll be better off.
I'm admitting?? What am I, a Saudi diplomat?? I'm calling it as it is. You think just because my leanings are towards M14 that I agree with everything they do, or I try to cover up their strategy?? I thought you knew me better than that Momo.
This deal was agreed upon a year ago. The fact that these weapons haven't arrived yet means KSA does not want to send weapons to an Aouneh LAF that could share its weapons with Hezbollah.
sure, $4billion dollars worth of weapons are just waiting on the shelves of French factories. What a propagandist. The Saudis, the French, and the Americans are bombing ISIL daily and you still claim they are sponsored by them. You are so convincing....
I am an expatriate living in Sweden trying to make a decent living. I must admit I was anti HA and anti Iran for the first 28 years of my life. Recently I stumbled upon this forum and started reading mystic's and mowaten's comments. I learned quite a lot from them both and I saw first hand the facts they produce to prove that HA is a true resistance, that Iran loves the Lebanese, and that Bashr Assad is a great leader. Now, I can honestly say I have a new fresh perspective at the way I look at politics. Thanks to both of you for helping me see who our real friends are.
and here is how bashar helped the rise of ISIL... LOL! same source as yours...

“Officially they are combating each other but in fact they are very often helping each other." -
bashar and ISIL helping each other... LOL

"Jabhat al-Nusra, and the even more extreme Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS), the two al-Qaeda affiliates operating in Syria, have both been financed by selling oil and gas from wells under their control to and through the regime, intelligence sources have told The Daily Telegraph"
http://www.defenceviewpoints.co.uk/articles-and-analysis/al-qaeda-and-the-assad-regime-in-syria
Now that is a bit of a contradiction by the telegraph. If they even admit the Saudis support for takfirism, that means it is difficult to keep it a secret. We've heard these western stories, about Assad for quite sometime, now they seem to differ on their rhetoric.
4 billion dollars yea right. Where is that 1 billion dollars or the 3 billion dollars promised over a year ago. Stop embarrassing yourself dude.
I respect Mr. Mystic, Mr. Flamethrower, and Miss Southern and their vast knowledge on military matters.
Saudi Arabia, wants Geagea to become the new "caliph" of Lebanon. If he ever becomes President, the first thing he will announce, is his conversion to Wahabism.
10 minutes ago MTV: Members of the Jaafar clan set up a checkpoint between Iaat and Harf Shlifa and assaulted residents from Deir al-Ahmar.
the resistance, its members, and its supporters in a beautiful display of their respect for the LAF and the law. I would like to see how many will be arrested and jailed.
hahahaha cessnas...it's funny how they impose which weapons are allowed to be delivered to Lebanon...Only Russia will give us actual weapons that we might be able to use against our enemies.
you have surely preferred that the arms went to hizbollah so that the lat remains weak and terrorist hizbollah becomes stronger. by the way the hizbollah has implicitly admitted that they had units planning terrorists attacks in different countries but did not succeed thanks to mossad infiltrating hizbollah. Which makes its clearer than water that your hizbollah is a terrorist organization
@somebody Russia will give us nothing sell is the correct verb to use here. The question is where will Lebanon get the money to pay for such weapons? Lebanese can dream and fabricate stories as much as you want,but the fact remain Lebanon is a corrupt and poor country.
These are Cessna Planes at their BEST - LOL
