JNews Lebanon Exclusive<\/strong><\/p>\n

High-level political sources have disclosed to JNews Lebanon<\/strong> that highly tense, heated overnight communications took place between the Grand Serail and Ain el-Tineh. These urgent contacts followed a fierce media assault launched by the pro-Iran camp against the official Lebanese delegation currently negotiating in Washington.<\/p>\n

According to exclusive intelligence obtained by our platform, international mediating parties have urgently notified Lebanese officials that this domestic rhetoric of political accusation and betrayal risks completely undermining the “de-confliction cell” that was mutually agreed upon during the recent Lake Lucerne Summit. Furthermore, these diplomatic sources warned that such internal divisions provide Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the perfect pretext to bypass and evade the newly established 60-day roadmap.<\/p>\n
