SAUDI ARABIA TELL ALL CITIZENS TO EVACUATE #LEBANON IMMEDIATELY
"The Embassy of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia to the Republic of Lebanon is following up on the developments of the current events in southern Lebanon and confirms its previous call for all Saudi citizens to adhere to the decision to ban travel to Lebanon.
And urges citizens who are there to leave Lebanese territory immediately, and the embassy notes the need for citizens to communicate with it in the event of an accident.
US military is sending large number of troops and military equipments to Jordanian and occupied Syrian bases in anticipation of the planned #Netanyahu attack against Lebanon.
#US, #UK, #France and possibly #Italy will actively participate in defending Israel while Israel will have free hands in their attacks against any targets in #Lebanon and #Syria.
@faab64 Fuck the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan, but at least the USA troops that are there are there legally. It's unheard off, and quite a bend of international law, that troops illegally occupying a foreign country will participate in further aggression against another country they are not even at war with.
“US troop numbers in Jordan surge to record high amid Gaza war: US troop levels in Jordan have soared 20 percent since an Iraqi militia attacked a remote base inside the country”
"I want to be clear that everybody who followed this issue from inside the U.S. government—whether it's the military, the intel world, the State Department, USAID—was fully aware of not only everything that was happening in terms of destruction and civilian deaths in Gaza, but also the expected consequences and expected trajectory of the Israeli campaign in Gaza.
What I've told you is not really my unique analysis or has anything to do with my own personal genius judgments. I think they're widely shared, or widely at least understood by everybody who works on this topic professionally. And I emphasize that because I think even in the past month, we've seen demands from our government that the Israelis must have a day-after plan, or that the Israelis still must work towards reducing civilian casualties, or that they must work towards a number of these sort of very basic steps that it was clear nine months ago that they weren't going to do anything about. [...] Anybody could have told you back in October, back in November, that we'd get somewhere like where we are today."
