🇱🇧 Lebanese Army Denies Border Withdrawal Claims

The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) has denied rumors about armed infiltrations and its withdrawal from border areas in Bekaa, affirming that regular patrols along the Syrian border continue. Authorities urged caution in reporting and warned against spreading unverified news.

While concerns persist over possible extremist infiltration into northern Lebanon, local sources report Tripoli remains calm with no immediate threats. On 12 July, the LAF detained over 100 Syrians who attempted illegal entry. Some residents, however, claim militants have been gradually entering since Assad’s fall in late 2024.

US envoy Tom Barrack visited Beyrouth over the weekend, threatening Lebanon's government over the perceived unwillingness to "disarm" Hezbollah. It seems as if the terrorist sitting in Damascus might soon be activated to annex Lebanon.

Palantir's response contains false claims of French intelligence satisfaction, arguing renewals prove no issue

This is incorrect. According to reports citing the DGSI, Palantir was always a "transitional" solution. Security chief Guillaume Poupard confirmed there is a will to create a trusted French alternative, implying Palantir is not trusted. It was adopted reluctantly as an emergency measure after the 2015 attacks.

Multiple sovereign projects like Programme Artemis, the GICAT consortium, and the 2022 OTDH tender prove active efforts to replace Palantir, facing issues like slow development and fragmentation.

The core threat isn't data location, but U.S. coercion. If France opposed U.S. interests, the U.S. could pressure Palantir to cut support or activate a kill switch, crippling intelligence architecture — a real risk, as seen with Russia.

Sovereignty or dependence

Zelenskyy is pushing for U.S.-backed security assurances modeled on NATO’s Article 5 — effectively seeking the protections of alliance membership without formal accession.

While framed as a guarantee of sovereignty, such a commitment would represent a major escalation in Western involvement — and a direct challenge to Russia’s core security demands.

This is just a waste of time.

The Russian military reportedly provided U.S. defense officials in Moscow with forensic data recovered from Ukrainian strike drones — allegedly proving Kyiv’s involvement in an attempted assassination of President Putin near Novgorod. If verified, the evidence could significantly escalate diplomatic and security tensions.

The United States declined to endorse a joint declaration committing to long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, according to Politico

The final pledge was signed exclusively by a “coalition of the willing”, while key provisions — particularly those outlining a potential U.S. role in a post-war multinational security force on Ukrainian soil — were removed from the draft ahead of adoption.
