Israel upsets Aoun and Karam emerges as initial candidate
The article addressed the current state of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations, explaining that the core issues are not limited to the failure of the seventh round in Rome or the resignation of Ambassador Simon Karam. Instead, they stem from a deeper crisis related to the very conditions of the negotiation process. Lebanon faces challenges in achieving gains when negotiating with an entity that possesses a clear military advantage and can impose facts on the ground, thereby limiting maneuvering space and turning negotiations into mere management of existing conditions rather than reaching actual solutions. Lebanon's stance focuses on restoring its sovereignty over the south and reducing Israeli military deployment, while Israel continues to insist on its right to use force for its security. This stance complicates the negotiation process further. Military realities on the ground also show that prolonged negotiations hinder Lebanon's ability to reclaim its rights. The Karam Committee is among the key elements; it might resign if it perceives that the mechanisms in place are not leading to progress, which could reflect the limitations of the current approach and leave it in form without genuine substance.
