"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom's welcome of the announcement by... Trump of a ceasefire in brotherly Lebanon. It also commended the significant positive role played by President Joseph Aoun of the Lebanese Republic, the Lebanese government headed by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri," state news agency SPA reported.

The problem of Lebanon is Hezbolla state within a state . Lebanese and Israelis lived in peace along the border for many years until Iran started to control the Shiites in Lebanon and build the Hezbolla terror army. The ceasefire will be meaningless without rearranging the balance of Power in Lebanon and without rebuilding a one state one army status in Lebanon. I am skeptical about their ability to achieve that. Iran will never stop trying to continue and control Lebanon.
However , let us pray and hope for better times, our nations deserve it.

KSA has announced that, as a first step toward becoming a constitutional monarchy, all non-members of the royal family are banned. Pakistanis "can take their place anytime," said KSA.

What exactly did the Hizballah mouthpiece, Berri, do other than blaming Israel for everytthing and praising his Iranian owners
