Report: Saudi-French Arms Deal to Lebanon back on Track
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The deal between Saudi Arabia and France over providing weapons to the Lebanese army has returned back to its course, reported As Safir newspaper on Tuesday.
It said that the execution of the agreement will resume after it had reached a halt a few months ago.
French sources predicted that negotiations between French weapons manufacturers will resume before the end of the year.
The negotiations will tackle agreements reached between the Lebanese army and negotiators at the French ODAS company in February.
The company had received a request from Saudi Arabia in May to freeze the arms deal with Lebanon, said As Safir.
In April, Lebanon received the first tranche of weapons designed to bolster its army against jihadist threats, including anti-tank guided missiles.
The weapons are part of a $3 billion program agreed between Saudi Arabia and France in 2014.

I am the_roar: I am a regular poster on naharnet. I have 51 fake accounts and I live on this forum 24/7. I make fake accounts and insult people when I have no argument or debate. I am a Shia who pretends not to speak Arabic and claims to live in Australia. I know every street in Lebanon and every MP's name despite my claim that I am 3rd generation Australian and having never been to Lebanon. I tell people I don't post on weekends to give them the impression I have a life. I lie and lie and lie and think people believe me. I love to see my comments in the top rated section so people think I am important.

The army are forced to accept crap, because they do not have the opportunity to take anything else.

Then why didn't Hariri and co accept the TOS-1 deal from Russia? March 14 they do not wish to see their takfiris in Arsal outskirts incinerated.

miss tic the expert once again... so this deal is worth nothing in your eyes, non lethal weapons, toys and crap, ma hek? don't you read the stupidity of your posts?
and of course you deflect the question of hezbollah strenghtening the army by placing themselves under its orders and giving them their huge arsenal... why? because you do not want the army to give orders to hezbollah... you prefer a foreign nation to do it , rather than the lebanese army...
you are not patriotic, you hate Lebanon like hezbollah does that is all...

@peace
Mastica and Co will never answer your questions:
"because they do not want the army to give orders to Ebola... they prefer a foreign nation to do it , rather than the lebanese army..."
They are not patriotic at all....their loyalty is to another country...

Would be nice if everyone puts Lebanon first on the list instead of other countries. We need to unite under our flag not the flag of others, stop looking to the outside in search of answers. We all need to forget the past and make our bleeding Lebanon a priority. Our problems would go away, if we are all Lebanese first before being this & that and following foreign agendas that do nothing but harm us. We need to show the world that we care about Lebanon more then anyone else. This is the only way to build a Country

yesterday mowaten said the two thugs who killed army soldiers in maameltein and were later killed themselves were not from ashraf al nass and not from hezbollah. Here are photos of them in hezbollah military fatigues.

zoaiters have nothing to do with the resistance. only in your sectarian mind are they "the same" because they are of the same sect.

@ex-fpm
what you posted is yet another proof this sectarian troll who calls himself mowaten is nothing but a hired mouthpiece whose job is to lie and defend his sectarian militia and drug dealers.
