Between the domestic and the external, there is a triangular movement from politics to security, reaching all the way to energy. At the forefront of the scene is the simultaneity of two visits: Saudi Envoy Prince Yazid bin Farhan and U.S. Representative to the United Nations Mike Waltz. Headlines are crowding the Lebanese contact lines, led by the UNIFIL file as a primary topic in Ambassador Mike Waltz's visit. He arrived in Lebanon on the wing of discussing proposals related to the end of the international force's mission and the transfer of security responsibility to the Lebanese state, according to a statement distributed by the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, in addition to discussing American support for implementing the tripartite framework and establishing a Lebanon free of Hezbollah and Iran's influence. The American envoy, who will meet with Lebanese officials, was preceded to Beirut by signals of American-French consensus and coordination regarding what lies ahead for the south after the end of the current year. In the conclusions of the permitted talk about American visions for reshaping the international presence in the south, options multiply, headed by placing the tripartite framework under a UN cover, in addition to the Sinai model which was placed on Lebanon's table as one of the options on the basis that what was applied in the peninsula in the early 1980s might be a model for Lebanon's politically fractured islands along its southern borders and regional challenges. However, the difference in circumstances and realities between the two experiences poses a fundamental problem to the application of the aforementioned model. The first of these problems is that in Sinai there was the Camp David Accords, whereas here there is no agreement on the ground, and the framework does not rise to the level of an agreement or a treaty. If Waltz's visit is a pivotal station in the discussion of the south's future, official Lebanon signaled in advance and by public statement, declaring its adherence to Resolution 1701 as a fundamental reference for any upcoming arrangements, while remaining open to studied amendments, and rejecting leaving the south facing a security vacuum or imposing commitments on Lebanon unilaterally. Its preoccupation in this framework is the attempt to impose a form of direct cooperation between Lebanon and Israel, which official Lebanon, in all its political and military pillars, agrees to reject absolutely. Before the American envoy arrived and began his meetings, Saudi Envoy to Lebanon Prince Yazid bin Farhan landed in Beirut, breaking the wall of certain rumors that spoke of the possibility of his abandoning the Lebanese file. He had an evening meeting with the Prime Minister and a morning meeting with the President, based on the continuation of Saudi keenness on Lebanon in its critical times. In addition to Qatari keenness on energy in Lebanon, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and Energy Minister Joe Sadek headed to Doha. In the summary of the visit, there is significant progress on the lines of electrical energy and preparations for an integrated agreement between the two governments, the titles of which are the import of gas and electricity via Syria and the establishment of new power generation plants, in addition to supplying liquefied natural gas from Qatar and renewable energy projects. On the banks of electricity, there is political energy with Qatari support for de-escalation efforts and strengthening state institutions, according to what the Qatari Prime Minister announced. From the energy provided by Qatar to security coordinated with Syria, there was a security visit by Interior Minister Ahmed Al-Hajjar to Damascus. With his Syrian counterpart Anas Khattab, the headlines of border and crossing control and joint security files were present, the weight of which was eased by a tour of the streets of old Damascus, its neighborhoods, and its Umayyad Mosque, which gave the visit a special character, according to Minister Al-Hajjar. Between diplomacy, security, politics, and energy, challenges intertwine at the doors of a busy week with options open to more than one possibility, met by the date of the anticipated summit between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing, where the contours of the region's future will be drawn with its balances and the possibilities of escalation or concluding final deals within it.
