Report: US, France exerting huge pressure on Lebanon over gas deal

W460

The French and the Americans are exerting huge pressure on Lebanon and are seeking a way to convince Beirut to “climb down from the tree,” Israel’s Channel 12 has reported.

Israel’s Kan TV meanwhile said that the next two days will be crucial in the attempt to revive the gas deal between Lebanon and Israel, after the Israelis rejected Lebanon’s amendments to the draft deal presented by U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein.

The channel also noted that Israel believes that it is still possible to reach an agreement prior to the Israeli legislative elections.

Macron and Biden are the ones who rehabilitated and enabled criminal HizbIran from occupying Lebanon and the corrupt political mafia from sucking life out of this country. The gas deal as well as Iran nuclear deal serves Europe and US interests and will gladly sell Lebanon to the Basij and political mafia to achieve their interests. Very sad!

You’re spot on, they’ve done it before and they’ll do it again. Paris and Washington are not our friends.

I can only suppose that you think that Tehran is, maybe as well as Moscow.
