The sources indicated that military escalation remains tied to a mutually agreed &#8220;zero hour&#8221; between Israeli and American sides, amid ongoing Israeli efforts to enforce a new geo-military reality through unprecedented modifications in occupied areas and infrastructure destruction.<\/p>\n<p>This coincides with behind-the-scenes maneuvering at the UN Security Council. Exclusive diplomatic insights obtained by <strong>JNews<\/strong> reveal that a majority of Council members voiced explicit support for Lebanon&#8217;s official request to extend UNIFIL&#8217;s mandate. However, this consensus collided with a firm stance from the US delegate, who raised explicit reservations aligned with Israeli pressure to curtail the UN role or modify rules of engagement.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"\"><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\" class=\"section-title\" id=\"aoun-emphasizes-monopoly-on-arms-berri-warns-against-vacating-south\">Aoun Emphasizes Monopoly on Arms; Berri Warns Against Vacating South<\/h2>\n<p>On the political front, as public attention turns to the key speech delivered this afternoon by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri marking the 48th anniversary of Imam Musa Sadr&#8217;s disappearance (following consultative talks held on the eve of the event with long-time ally former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Joumblatt), <strong>JNews Lebanon<\/strong> has learned that Berri will focus heavily on the scale of the ongoing crisis in the South due to Israeli violations.
