Internationalizing the Lebanese situation

The tar­get was a fake con­voy used by the Amer­i­can ambas­sador in Lebanon Jef­frey Felt­man for secu­rity rea­sons, the bombers know what they are doing.

Since the begin­ning of the bomb­ings and assas­si­na­tions series, three years ago this is the first time an explo­sion tar­geted diplo­mats, and specif­i­cally Amer­i­can diplo­mat, which means that the “red line” fell entirely and it is a mes­sage to Wash­ing­ton that the inter­na­tional con­fronta­tion is now open in the Lebanese arena.

It is cer­tain that the Amer­i­can will read this mes­sage care­fully, and their posi­tion after the explo­sion will not be the same before the explo­sion, a déjà-vu from the Amer­i­can embassy bomb­ing in April of the year 1983, and the Marines head­quar­ter in Beirut air­port six months after that!.

The other objec­tive is to inter­na­tion­al­iza­tion of the Lebanese sit­u­a­tion and to pull the Lebanese file out of the Arab League hand to the Secu­rity Council.

Some sources talk about a new UN res­o­lu­tion against Syria sim­i­lar to res­o­lu­tion 1559

What Al-Hayat wrote today, totally fits the sce­nario “King Abdul­lah –of Saudi Ara­bia– dis­ap­pointed with the Syr­ian lead­er­ship”.
