Maybe this 7ayek guy was a war criminal... I don't know.
But this is dangerous as now every one have a grudge related to the civil war will go settle his score on his own hands.

There's no way in hell you actually believe that

Why not? They might have killed him to say that smuggling Fakhoury was justified or else, he would have had the same fate

What makes you think they care about justifying smuggling Fakhoury?

They want to show the world that HA are a bunch of criminals who assassinate their opponents and that's why, Fakhoury was saved by smuggling him.

Get out of here with your logic

So, why did America b3ezz elcorona, smuggled Fakhoury and Trump thanked the Lebanese government for its cooperation?

Just a guess, but it may have been more personal than geopolitical. (Shaheen is the US Senator who threatened a massive sanctions bill against Lebanon if he's not freed)

The fact that the US protects Fakhouri is normal, the real question is why did Fakhouri insist on coming to lebanon ?
And the way he was received at the airport means it was all pre-arranged before.

Yes, that's the big question. Especially that his daughters have spent the past few months berating us about what an Iranian shithole Lebanon is, why did their dad go back in the first place and how? There's a lot of 1 + 2 = 5 in this whole thing.

The US thing is not really true, he was definitely given different treatment (because of the Shaheen thing, but likely because he's very well-connected in general). Americans languish in jails around the world and senators don't lift a finger, much less threaten sanctions like the ones here.

If he was really the deputy of Fakouri; then he could have been a potential witness in a trial.

Killing him is a stupid vigilante act.

The US sees Lebanon through Israeli eyes and Trump keeps sucking up to Israel.

It was done to calm down the M8 street after the uproar from the release of Fakhoury.

The US sees Lebanon through Israeli eyes and Trump keeps sucking up to Israel.

Nonsense, as America has gotten back over a dozen released prisoners from different countries ever since Trump became president, most having nothing to do with Israel.

The US simply isn’t going to have Lebanon (which is essentially ruled by an Iranian proxy nowadays) to do as it pleases with its citizens. Who do these bozos think they are, trying to act like they’re the dispensers of justice, when known war criminals are political leaders?

 

[NewLeb]

On a completely different note, perhaps the release of Fakhouri can pave the way to some form of compromise with Israel. The only Lebanese class who really have a problem with the Jews nowadays are the Shiites. Sure, you have some Christian Lebanese who like to play the whole “anti-Zionist” thing, but let’s be honest with ourselves, nobody really cares besides Hezbollah.

But Lebanon’s political destiny shouldn’t be dependent on what a specific party thinks about the country’s foreign relations.

I agree.
