Lebanon reportedly receives US response to its paper amid positive atmosphere
A presidential committee tasked with responding to Tom Barrack’s paper convened Tuesday at the Baabda Palace to discuss the U.S. response to the Lebanese paper, which was received by Beirut on Monday, TV networks reported.
The U.S. response “includes applause of a host of articles contained in the Lebanese response, while asking for clarifications regarding timetables and executive mechanisms related to the arms issue, which means that the Lebanese side has started preparing executive mechanisms,” Al-Jadeed TV said.
Washington has given Lebanon “until the end of the current year and this point in specific will be discussed with Barrack when he returns” to Lebanon, the TV network added quoted official sources as saying.
The sources added that “the atmosphere is positive, especially that the Lebanese response is based on synchronized steps and successive stages.”
Sources informed on the Lebanese response meanwhile told MTV that the Lebanese paper “included a comprehensive agreement that entire Lebanon will commit to, amid optimism that Barrack will carry a positive response from the Israeli side.”
“Communication between President Joseph Aoun and Tom Barrack is taking place on a daily basis and the file is being delicately followed up,” Baabda Palace sources told MTV.
