The postponement of Army Commander General Rudolf Heikel’s visit to Washington continues to spark heated debate in political and security circles, with intense efforts being made behind the scenes to contain the repercussions.
It is learned that the President has made high-level contacts in the past few hours, leading to the setting of a new date for Heikel’s visit to the US capital and his meeting with senior officials, headed by the US Army Commander.
Despite confirmation of the setting of a new date, the final details of the visit have not yet been revealed, and informed sources indicate that it will not take place before or immediately after Pope Laon XIV’s visit to Lebanon.
The Army Commander is preparing to present his third report to the Council of Ministers next Thursday, which will address the army’s plan to deploy in southern Litani, in addition to measures related to the exclusivity of weapons file.
Information reveals that the Council of Ministers session will be held at Baabda Palace on Thursday, increasing the possibility that the Washington visit will not be completed before this date.
