◾ What is happening between Tehran, Washington and Tel Aviv presents Lebanon with two options with different results, even if they are similar in terms of stopping the war. Here, say accompanying political sources, the responsibility of the Lebanese authority is emphasized in keeping up with these changes and in taking the initiative to invest in the political and diplomatic opportunities they may provide, instead of continuing to bet solely on American mediation, whose experience has shown a bias towards Israeli security requirements and an inability to oblige Tel Aviv to fulfill its obligations. What is required of Beirut, according to the sources, is not to remain in a position of waiting for the results of the regional understandings, but to move to ensure that the Israeli withdrawal is included in any arrangement, in accordance with clear commitments, a timetable, and implementation and monitoring mechanisms, in a way that prevents Lebanon's sovereignty from remaining hostage to Israel's conditions.
