The Treacherous Negotiations Between Lebanon and the Jewish Entity
(Translated)
Question:
In Washington, negotiations took place between the ambassadors of Lebanon and the Jewish entity. This was seen as a high level of peace negotiations, with a ten-day truce that was later extended to three months on April 24, 2026. However, the Jewish entity continues to escalate its aggression, “the occupation army announced that it carried out a series of raids overnight targeting more than fifty sites in southern Lebanon...” (Al-Jumhur, May 2, 2026).
Is the intention, as Trump said, peace through strength? Then how can the rulers of Lebanon accept these treacherous negotiations that openly, not secretly, signify boarding the normalization train? Please answer us, and we thank and appreciate you.
Answer:
To answer these questions, we will review the following:
1- With the return of the Trump administration to government for a new term in 2025, it brought with it its old project, the Abraham Accords, with its promises of “normalization,” and new promises to empower the Jewish entity to dominate the region and entrust it with managing a large part of American interests there. The launch of negotiations between America’s agents in Lebanon and the Jewish entity on 14 April 2026, in Washington, was larger and broader than the security agreement that the government promotes as an attempt to stop the killing and destruction and liberate the south. Instead, it was a full-fledged bid to secure a seat on Trump’s normalization train. Although this “first” meeting was at the ambassadorial level, US President Trump, in an attempt to generate momentum, announced that Lebanese President Aoun and Jewish Prime Minister Netanyahu would hold a telephone conversation, indicating that such communication had not occurred for decades. (i24, 16 April 2026). When the call didn’t happen, Trump insisted on maintaining the momentum. His Secretary of State contacted the Lebanese President, and then Trump himself called him—a move that was greatly boasted about by America’s agents in Lebanon. Trump then announced an unprecedented diplomatic step: his intention to host Prime Minister of “Israel,” Benjamin Netanyahu, and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House. (Saudi News, 16 April 2026). Despite the Lebanese timid denial, Lebanon’s joining of the normalization train is now imminent!
2- Then came a series of statements from Aoun and his Prime Minister regarding this:
a- In a speech addressed to the Lebanese people, Aoun clarified, “Let me tell you frankly and confidently: these negotiations are not a sign of weakness, retreat, or concession. Instead, they are a decision born from the strength of our belief in our rights, our concern for our people, and our responsibility to protect our homeland by all means, especially our refusal to die for anyone other than Lebanon. Negotiations do not mean, and will never mean, relinquishing any right, abandoning any principle, or compromising the sovereignty of this nation. We have lost thousands of Lebanese; these are our sons and daughters, and we will never forget them. I will not allow another Lebanese to die, nor will I allow the continued bloodshed among my people, for the sake of the interests and influence of others or the calculations of power blocs, near or far.” (Independent Arabia, 18 April 2026)
b- As for Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, he said in a press conference with French President Macron, ““He will need the help of all of Lebanon’s partners as direct talks continue at the ambassadorial level later this week in Washington, adding, “We continue on this path based on our conviction that diplomacy is not a sign of weakness, but rather a responsible act to leave no avenue unexplored in order to restore my country’s sovereignty and protect its people.”” (Independent Arabia, 21 April 2026).
c- Aoun then relied on the supportive Saudi role, as reported in Al-Riyadh Newspaper, “Joseph Aoun praised the Saudi role, appreciating the efforts of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and emphasizing that these moves were characterized by wisdom and balance... and the Saudi efforts were based on firm positions that support the Lebanese people, especially in light of the difficult circumstances imposed by the recent military escalation. The Kingdom's commitment to supporting all initiatives aimed at a ceasefire was evident, along with working to activate sustainable diplomatic solutions that guarantee the achievement of peace and the preservation of Lebanon’s stability.” (Al-Riyadh Newspaper, 19 April, 2026)
3- Then, despite the ceasefire agreement with Iran, the Jewish entity refused to end the war with the Hezb of Iran in Lebanon, after the two-week truce with Iran. The Jewish entity’s prime minister declared that Lebanon was not included in the truce, and to prove this, its aircraft heavily bombed Beirut and Lebanon in general on the first day the truce with Iran went into effect. “Israel carried out its heaviest strikes on Lebanon since the conflict with Hezbollah broke out last month, even as the Iran-aligned group paused attacks under a two-week US-Iran ceasefire. Axios reported, citing White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday, that Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran.” (France 24, 4 April 2026).
4- In light of this American stance, the rhetoric of America’s agents in Lebanon against Hezbollah is escalating, suggesting the risk of civil war. For example, “Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated on Tuesday that the government is not seeking a confrontation with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group, but will not allow it to be intimidated while it continues direct talks with Israel to end the war. Independent Arabia, 21 April, 2026.” This indicates that both the Jewish entity and the Lebanese government are working, albeit separately, to disarm the Hezb of Iran in Lebanon.
5- However, with Iran continuing to pressure for the truce to include Lebanon, the US agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon after initially refusing. “The US President announced a ten-day ceasefire in Lebanon” (RT, 16 April, 2026). The US views this ceasefire as a means to push Lebanon towards normalization. President Trump said, “I just had excellent conversations with the Highly Respected President Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon, and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of “Israel”,” adding that “These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries, they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST.” He noted that “On Tuesday, the two Countries met for the first time in 34 years here in Washington, D.C., with our Great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.” Trump confirmed that, “I have directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Razin' Caine, to work with “Israel” and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE.” He concluded his post by saying, “It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let’s, GET IT DONE!” (Truth Social, 16 April 2026).
6- Then Trump announced the extension of the truce between the Jewish entity and Lebanon for three weeks, “US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the ceasefire between “Israel” and Lebanon would be extended for three weeks. Trump added in a post on his Truth Social account that the decision came after a meeting held Thursday in the Oval Office, attended by the US President, Vice President Jay D. Vance, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, US Ambassador to “Israel” Mike Huckabee, and US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa.” (Sky News Arabia, 24 April 2026). However, despite this, the raids continue! ““Israel” continues its raids on southern Lebanon..." (RT Arabic, 30 April 2026). "Also, the “Israeli” army carried out a series of large-scale attacks over the past two days, resulting in dozens of casualties. Lebanese authorities reported that approximately 29 people were killed and dozens wounded in 84 diverse “Israeli” attacks, including airstrikes, artillery shelling, and the bombing of residential buildings.” (Al Jazeera, May 1, 2026). And today, “the occupation army announced that it carried out a series of raids last night targeting more than 50 locations in southern Lebanon...” (Al-Jumhur, 2 May 2026). America wants negotiations to proceed according to its arrogant vision of peace through strength! To that end, the Jewish entity is establishing new military camps in the Lebanese villages it has occupied, declaring them buffer zones against the threats of the Hezb of Iran—a repeat of the Gaza scenario with Hamas and the Yellow Line!
7- Thus, the rulers of Lebanon and the other rulers of Muslim countries, instead of liberating Palestine and eliminating the Jewish entity, are striving for normalization with it. They are conspiring with America and the Jewish entity to guarantee its security. These rulers do not realize the danger of allying with disbelievers, that it is a disgrace in this world and a painful punishment in the Hereafter,
[الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِنْدَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعاً]
“Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of believers - do they seek honor from them? Indeed, all honor belongs to Allah.” [TMQ Surah An-Nisaa: 139]. They do not realize that disbelieving states are primarily concerned with their own interests and harbor enmity towards Islam and Muslims day and night. If they show any satisfaction with a state that orbits within their sphere of foreign policy, or even with their agents, they do not wish them well. Instead, they conceal and openly declare their evil intentions, even if these rulers, whoever they may be, are the true allies of the Jewish entity. Whether they orbit America, or were its agents, if they understood that America doesn’t value them when its interests require their demise, they would have learned from the lessons of history. How many of its allies has America discarded, after they had served their purpose? If these rulers had any sense, they would have rejected the kuffar (disbelievers) outright, but they are deaf, dumb, and blind, and they will not return. Their loyalty to the disbelieving colonialists has reached such a point that when one of their countries is attacked, the others do not move to its aid. The best among them are those who merely count the dead and wounded! The fundamental principle for Muslims is that they are one Ummah; their peace is one, and their war is one. An attack on any part of the Ummah is an attack on all of it. Although it is the Shariah obligation of every part that is attacked to resist the aggressor, this does not solve the problem. The Revolutionary Guard in Iran resists, and the Hezb of Iran in Lebanon resists, but all of this will not solve the problem unless the Khilafah (Caliphate) is established, supporting Allah (swt) through obedience and implementing His Shariah Laws, so that it may be victorious, by the Permission of Allah (swt) illuminating the world with its justice and Jihad, so that Allah (swt (honors it with His victory (nasr).
8- This alone is what will save the Ummah, restore its glory, strengthen its power, and make its enemies think a thousand times before attacking it. This is only possible with the return of the Khilafah so that the earth may shine with its goodness and justice. Just as the Khilafah ended the arrogance of the Roman Caesars and the Persian emperors, so too will it end the arrogance of their followers, such as the tyrant Trump and his ilk among the disbelieving colonialists. As for the Jewish entity, it is too insignificant to be given any weight. It is as Allah (swt) said, [لَنْ يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّا أَذًى وَإِنْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ يُوَلُّوكُمُ الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنْصَرُونَ] “They will not harm you except for a slight annoyance; and if they fight you, they will turn their backs in retreat, and then they will not be aided.” [TMQ Surah Aali-Imran: 111]. It is incapable of standing on its own. It is not capable of fighting except with the support of people, as Allah (swt) said, [ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوا إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِنَ اللهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ] “They were covered with humiliation wherever they were found, except by a rope, without support.” [TMQ Surah Aali Imran: 112]. They have severed the Rope of Allah (swt) and are only left with the rope of the people from America and Europe, and their agents from among the treacherous rulers in the lands of the Muslims, who do not lift a finger in the face of the brutal aggression of the Jews. The problem is with the states that exist in the lands of the Muslims these days, for their rulers are loyal to the disbelieving colonialists, the enemies of Islam and the Muslims. Thus, the calamity of the Muslims is in their rulers, and their loyalty to the disbelieving colonialists. The rulers obey their commands and refrain from what they forbid, instead of their loyalty being to Allah (swt) establishing His Shariah Laws and fighting Jihad in the Way of Allah (swt) and following His Messenger (saw) so that Islam and the Muslims may be honored and disbelief and the disbelievers may be humiliated.
[وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ]
“And on that day the believers will rejoice * in the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.” [TMQ Surah Ar-Rum: 4-5].
