Most of these towns are completely liberated, with only Zoutar al-Gharbiyeh and Zoutar al-Sharkiyeh under actual occupation. In a highly significant field move, the Lebanese Army established a new status quo by <strong>intensifying motorized patrols and setting up checkpoints and observation posts inside these seven villages (including Froun, Kafra Dounine, Qaqaait El Jisr, and Srifa)<\/strong>. This underscored to US mediators that the army is already present on the ground, and that any operational arrangements must launch from a real Israeli withdrawal from genuinely occupied lands, rejecting Tel Aviv&#8217;s demand for freedom of movement or continued violations.<br \/>\nRead also <a href=\"https:\/\/jnewslebanon.com\/?p=75976&#038;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Exclusive- The Truth About the 2026 Vehicle Tax Hikes\u2014Are Lebanese Car Owners Falling Into Another Trap?<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-container\">\n<h2 id=\"2-crucial-hours-ahead-us-pressure-intensifies-ahead-of-white-house-summit\">2.

These efforts carry immense weight as they coincide with President Joseph Aoun\u2019s expected arrival in Washington on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p>President Aoun will hold key preliminary meetings early in the week, culminating in a major honorary dinner hosted by the Lebanese Embassy in Washington on Monday evening. This sets the stage for Tuesday&#8217;s historic summit with US President Donald Trump at the White House, where the &#8220;Framework Agreement&#8221; and its operational bottlenecks will be the main course on the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nRead also <a href=\"https:\/\/jnewslebanon.com\/?p=75641&#038;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Exclusive- Aoun Defies Iran as Geagea Covers the Political \u201cCoup\u201d at Baabda!<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-container\">\n<h2 id=\"3-parliament-tremors-demolition-of-general-amnesty-sharpens-sectarian-polarization\">3. Parliament Tremors: Demolition of &#8220;General Amnesty&#8221; Sharpens Sectarian Polarization<\/h2>\n<p>Politically, the internal picture appears increasingly grim. The aftershocks of the recent legislative session\u2014which lost its quorum just as it reached the items concerning the &#8220;General Amnesty Law&#8221; and the &#8220;Abolition of the Death Penalty&#8221;\u2014have amplified political and sectarian divisions to dangerous levels.<\/p>\n<p>Political circles witnessed a fierce exchange of blame over who aborted the law. A scathing statement issued by the Lebanese Forces (LF) media department revealed that Speaker Nabih Berri rejected the amendments previously agreed upon at the Grand Serail, turning down the amnesty law in its proposed form. This prompted the majority of Sunni MPs to boycott the sessions in protest. The LF statement slammed accusations that their bloc broke the quorum as &#8220;blatant slander,&#8221; reiterating that the &#8220;Strong Republic&#8221; bloc demanded an immediate session to pass the law, but ruling forces insisted on burying it at the bottom of the legislative agenda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nRead also <a href=\"https:\/\/jnewslebanon.com\/?p=75641&#038;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Exclusive- Aoun Defies Iran as Geagea Covers the Political \u201cCoup\u201d at Baabda!<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-container\">\n<h2 id=\"4-geagea-drops-a-political-bombshell-we-will-submit-a-bill-to-shorten-parliaments-term\">4. Geagea Drops a Political Bombshell: We Will Submit a Bill to Shorten Parliament&#8217;s Term<\/h2>\n<p>Faced with this parliamentary paralysis, Lebanese Forces leader Dr. Samir Geagea dropped a heavy political bombshell, describing the events in parliament over the past two days as a &#8220;massive scandal for parliamentary work itself&#8221; and definitive proof of &#8220;an absolute lack of responsibility among a large number of MPs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Geagea expressed serious concern that Lebanon, through recent legislative failures, has re-entered the &#8220;same vicious cycle that previously drove the country into financial and economic collapse.&#8221; Consequently, Geagea announced that the &#8220;Strong Republic&#8221; bloc is seriously studying <strong>submitting a draft law to shorten the current parliament&#8217;s term and call for early elections<\/strong>, arguing that the exceptional circumstances that originally justified extending this parliament&#8217;s term no longer exist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-container\">\n<div class=\"editor-note\">Between Yarzeh&#8217;s military veto against Israeli conditions in the South, and Meerab&#8217;s political veto against parliamentary paralysis in Beirut, all major Lebanese files are effectively migrating to Washington over the next few hours. Either US pressure succeeds in smoothing out the final technical obstacles of the Framework Agreement\u2014allowing President Aoun to enter the White House backed by clear operational maps\u2014or the country will plunge into a deep security and political freeze, opening up the battle for early elections wide open.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jnewslebanon.com\/?p=75599&#038;lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Exclusive- Macron-Al-Sharaa Secret Deal: French Plan to Resettle Syrian Refugees in Lebanon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Exclusive JNews Lebanon The diplomatic &#8220;Framework Agreement&#8221; track has hit an unexpected technical snag on virtual negotiation lines, at a highly sensitive time just preceding President Joseph Aoun&#8217;s arrival in Washington.
