Ahmed Al -Shara insults Lebanon and the Lebanese, and continues with the approach of its predecessor, the ousted lion

Ahmed Al -Shara insults Lebanon And the Lebanese – in a letter described as a celebration delivered by the Syrian temporary President Ahmed al -Sharaa after the announcement of the lifting of US sanctions on his country,

The man was keen to review the positions of the “friendly” Arab countries one by one, sicting with their support, praising their solidarity, and repeating the phrases of gratitude.

Gulf, Egypt, Algeria, and even Mauritania … all of which won its share of thanks, except Lebanon.

Lebanon, which has received more than a million Syrian refugees since 2011, has not been mentioned neither near nor from far.

This ignorance was neither rhetorical nor protocolic omission,

Rather, it was a studied political message that reflects the depth of the old-new Syrian view towards Lebanon as an entity, and not as a man.

The Syrian vision, Lebanon is not an independent state but a “historical attachment”

It is clear that the lifting of sanctions has changed nothing in the central vision of the Syrian regime towards Lebanon.

Whatever the names change in Damascus, the mentality is the same: Lebanon is only an entity attached to the historical Syria,

The result of the Six -Picot divisions, not worth a full sovereign recognition.

This offering is not new.

Former Syrian officials have previously expressed, but today it takes a more insignificant character through frequent practices that reflect a clear contempt for Lebanon as a country, as a people, and as an independent regional role.

From lifting sanctions to reducing Lebanese sovereignty

Lifting sanctions on Syria By a decision of the administration of former US President Donald TrumpAnd with broad Gulf support, he returned Syria to the Arab and International Movement Square.

But this “openness” did not reflect positively on the relationship with Lebanon.

On the contrary, tension and coldness increased in bilateral relations, especially after Sharia began to behave as if Lebanon is not a dedicated party, but rather an area of ​​influence that must be reset.

On an official visit by a high -level Lebanese delegation headed by the caretaker government, Naguib Mikati,

Sharia did not hesitate to download Lebanon – specifically “Hezbollah” – the responsibility of the Syrian ruin, forgetting its long regime’s interference in the Lebanese affairs, from the war’s war to security assassinations and interventions.

Ahmed Al -Shara insults Lebanon and the Lebanese M.Modest parcels go beyond political discourse

Outside of speech, this Syrian position is practically translated with several provocative steps:

• A defected and required military appointment for the Lebanese judiciary Director of the Syrian Intelligence Service in Homs, a border area adjacent to Lebanon, in a move described as explicit hostility.
• Earning thousands of Lebanese From the Syrian border villages with false arguments, ranging from suspicion of cooperation with smugglers, and the settlement of old political accounts.
• Keep the smuggling and drug file open As a permanent blackmail, although field facts indicate that Syrian territory is still a major platform for this illegal trade.

Syrian refugees in Lebanon, political extortion paper

Instead of dealing seriously with the file of the Syrian refugees in Lebanon, as a common humanitarian crisis,

Damascus baptized this file in a crude manner.

The last chapters of this blackmail was the request of the Syrian embassy in Beirut to grant permanent and free residency for Syrian refugees,

It transcends Lebanese sovereignty, and forgotten the demographic and economic fragility that Lebanon suffers from.

The failure of bilateral agreements … and a deliberate disruption of cooperation

Despite Saudi attempts to sponsor the Jeddah Agreement between Lebanon and Syria to organize the relationship after lifting the sanctions,

The agreement remained ink on paper. Not coordination committees, no operating rooms, and no real intention to cooperate.

Syria, as it seems, is not concerned with the demarcation of the borders, nor the cessation of smuggling, not even the fate of the Lebanese missing in its prisons.

On the contrary, Damascus recently initiated the opening of the file of “Syrian missing persons in Lebanon”,

Trying to create an imaginary balance that regrets any progress in the outstanding issues.

Ahmed Al -Shara insults Lebanon and the Lebanese , No recognition of Lebanon as an independent country

All of the above, from arrogant speech to daily practices,

It delivers one message: Syria does not see in Lebanon an independent state, but rather an influential field that must be domesticated or subjected.

At a time when some Lebanese officials sang “restoring brotherly relations” and “positive coordination”,

Others appear with an unfortunate scene of “Christianity of the Choat”, recovering and Damascus without preserving their dignity or the dignity of their country.

Lebanon is not a diplomatic commodity

The moment of the lifting of sanctions on Syria has revealed something deeper than a speech. The mask removed from a traditional Syrian position that has not changed, but rather more inherently with “new legitimacy”.

For Damascus, Lebanon is only a paper in the hands of the regime, used in the bazaar of interests, and refugees are nothing but pressure tools, and Lebanese sovereignty is only a temporary illusion in the eyes of the new Syrian ruler.

Will Lebanon remain on the recipient’s site? Or is it time to impose a new equation that reminds Damascus that the time of “guardianship” has ended irreversibly?
