انسحبت سوريا ولم تَخرج وعادت ولن تَدخل.

مرة أخرى، يُستخدم الوجودُ الفلسطيني قاعدة لشن حرب على لبنان: دولة وكياناً ونظاماً وصيغة، إنما هذه المرة بثلاثة فوارق: الأول هو أن الجيش اللبناني، لا الأحزاب المسيحية، واجه الحرب الجديدة رغم الخلاف القائم حول شرعية المؤسسات الدستورية الرئيسية (رئاسة الجمهورية، الحكومة ومجلس النواب). الثاني هو أن جميع الطوائف اللبنانية المسيحية والإسلامية دعمت الجيش اللبناني في مقاومته رغم الانقسام السياسي الحاد بين فريقي 8 و 14 آذار. والثالث هو أن المنظمات الفلسطينية الرئيسية شجبت مشروع حركة "فتح الإسلام" رغم الانشقاق القوي بين حركتي فتح وحماس.
غير أن موقف الجيش لا يعني عودة الدولة وسقوط الدويلات، وموقف الطوائف اللبنانية لا يجسد وحدة الوطن وسقوط المشاريع الطائفية والمذهبية، وموقف المنظمات الفلسطينية لا يؤكد وحدة القرار الفلسطيني حيال لبنان وسقوط مشاريع التوطين فيه. إن الأحداث لا تزال في بداياتها وقد تتداخل فيها قريباً تطورات إقليمية ودولية تؤثر على مسارها الحالي وتكشف أبعادها وملابسات توقيت انفجارها. وما لم تحدث هذه التطورات الخارجية، ستكون سوريا، على المدى القريب، الرابح الأساسي مما يجرى في مخيم نهر البارد وفي مخيمات أخرى لاحقاً، حتى لو حسم الجيش اللبناني المعركة.
من خلال أحداث مخيم نهر البارد، نجحت سوريا في تسجيل أهداف ماهرة في أكثر من ملعب لبناني وعربي وإقليمي ودولي، أبرزها:
1. خلقت حال عدم استقرار شامل في لبنان أربكت الحكومة اللبنانية وأثارت تساؤلات حول مدى قدرتها على استباق الفتن وحكم البلاد وتوفير الأمن والسلم الأهلي ناهيكم عن السيادة الحقيقية والاستقلال الناجز.
BKIRKI: The Council of Maronite Bishops extended support on Wednesday to the Lebanese Army in its fight against Fatah al-Islam militants at the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp, near Tripoli. "The national cohesion and courage displayed by the Lebanese Army during indispensable fights deserves acknowledgment from all the Lebanese, especially since the army has shown a strong sense of patriotism," Monsignor Youssef Tawk, secretary to the Maronite Patriarchate, said. Tawk was reading the minutes of the bishops’ monthly meeting held in Bkirki and headed by Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Butros Sfeir.
Tawk urged the Lebanese to "despise" all attempts aiming to incite conflicts and reinforcing"blind sectarianism." "Lebanon is characterized by its sectarian diversity, manifested by the 18 Christian as well as Muslim sects cohabiting in an atmosphere of cultural as well as religious freedom, which makes this country a true model for coexistence; thus all attempts to expose such atmosphere are totally unacceptable," he said. Tawk hoped the Lebanese would be able to enjoy their summer vacation "away from the sounds of shells and gunfire and the smell of gunpowder." The council expressed fears that the cancelling of the contest for recruiting new staff at the Internal Security Forces (ISF) "put the performance and standing of this institution at risk."
NAHR AL BARED, Lebanon July 4th 2007 — Three Islamist fighters were killed as the Lebanese army repulsed an attack inside a Palestinian camp in northern Lebanon, security sources said Wednesday.
A correspondent at the scene, meanwhile, reported renewed exchanges of gunfire between the army and Fatah Al Islam fighters around Nahr Al Bared refugee camp, amid bursts of shells fired by the military.
The sources said that the bodies of three militants were evacuated by civil defense workers after the attack on the army late Tuesday in Nahr Al Bared, the scene of a six-week standoff between troops and Al Qaeda-inspired extremists.
"There was an infiltration attempt. The army fired back and the militants pulled back to positions deep inside the camp, as usual. They have no fixed posts," an army spokesman said, without confirming the casualties. Fatah Al Islam militants "tried to advance toward buildings near the fringes of the camp to fire at soldiers. The army opened up with artillery, forcing their retreat and silencing their snipers," he said. Fatah Al Islam, which had spokesmen contactable by mobile phone in the early stages of the battle, was again unreachable Wednesday. Their phone lines have apparently been cut off.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned anew of the deteriorating humanitarian situation inside the camp. An ICRC spokeswoman, Virginia de la Guardia, said that relief workers had not been able to deliver food and water supplies to the camp since June 20, with trapped residents running out of supplies. "Discussions are continuing with the army" for access, she said. The last food rations that entered the camp amounted to 760 kilograms (1,670 pounds), enough for just over 100 people for two weeks, said the delegate of the ICRC, which has been coordinating relief.

سجعان القزي لـ "السياسة": كل المخيمات الفلسطينية في لبنان "نهر بارد"
جريدة السياسة الكويتية : الخميس، 21 – يونيو – 2
بيروت ـ من صبحي الدبيسي:
المقدمة
اعتبر الباحث والمحلل السياسي سجعان القزي أن التوطين أصبح واقعاً في لبنان منذ توقيع اتفاق القاهرة سنة، 1969 لاسيما مع تمدد الوجود الفلسطيني بشرياً وعسكرياً في كل لبنان وتحوله في نفس الوقت إلى مشروع دولة محل الدولة اللبنانية، لكنه لفت إلى أن هذا المشروع سقط مع مقاومة اللبنانيين له في حرب نيسان/ ابريل، 1975 وظن اللبنانيون سنة 1982 أن المخيمات الفلسطينية عادت مخيمات، فإذا بهم بتفاجاؤن بأنها أصبحت مجدداً معسكرات ودويلات داخل الدولة اللبنانية. وكل مخيم فلسطيني في لبنان بات دولة فلسطينية على غرار الدولة الفلسطينية المنشأة في الأراضي الفلسطينية المستعادة.
وفي موضوع التوطين الفلسطيني رأى القزي أنه ليس بحاجة إلى حرب "نهر البارد" لكي ينفذ، فهو قائم بحكم الوجود الفلسطيني داخل المخيمات وخارجها، بحكم عدم وجود سلطة الدولة في هذه المخيمات، وخاصة بحكم عدم وجود أفق حل لا للقضية الفلسطينية فحسب، وإنما للانتشار الفلسطيني خارج الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة أيضاً، مشدداً على أن الوضع الفلسطيني في لبنان لا يمكن أن يبقى بعد معركة "نهر البارد"، مثلما كان قبلها.
كلام قزي جاء في سياق حوار أجرته معه "السياسة"، تناول فيه أبعاد حرب مخيم "نهر البارد"، وخطر توطين الفلسطينيين في لبنان، ومسببات تفشي الأصوليتين الشيعية والسنية فيه، معدداً ثلاثة عوامل ساهمت بإعادة تسلح الفلسطينيين في المخيمات من بينها الصراع الخفي بين منظمة التحرير الفلسطينية وركنها الأساسي "فتح" من جهة، والمنظمات الفلسطينية الأصولية بركنيها الأساسيين "حماس" و"الجهاد الإسلامي" من جهة أخرى، ويضاف إليها الحالة الأصولية المنتشرة خارج لبنان والتي قررت أن تنشئ لها قواعد انطلاقاً من المخيمات في لبنان
BEIRUT Daily star: A hotel owner called on all tourist establishments in Beirut to abide by a two day strike on Monday to protest the government’s negligence of the tourism sector. Amin Khayat, also president of the Tourist Institutions in Beirut, warned the strike is just the beginning. "We may resort to other means in the next 15 days if the government and the concerned parties refrained from assisting the tourism sector," Khayat told a press conference. "The government promised us to secure a special fund to help the tourism sector. But none of their promises were fulfilled." He said that hotels will stop receiving visitors for two days.
Khayat wants a special electricity bill for all tourist establishments, as is the case for industrialists, and a resetting of taxes and VAT. But most hotel and restaurant owners are unlikely to comply with the strike call although they all sympathize with Khayat’s demands. "We fully sympathize with Khayat’s demands but I don’t think most of the establishments will close their businesses for two days," Paul Aryss, the president of the Restaurant Owners Association, told the paper.

BEIRUT (AFP) – The UN force in south Lebanon expects a "summer of peace" for the region despite the menace of more attacks on peacekeepers, their commander said in an interview published on Thursday. But he also called for more to be done in clearing the region of weapons."We take seriously the possibility of other attacks. We hope the new security measures and the political process will manage to prevent them," said Major-General Claudio Graziano of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNFIL).
Three Spanish and three Colombian-born troops of UNIFIL were killed last Sunday in a bomb attack in southern Lebanon as they patrolled between the towns of Marjayoun and Khiam, about 10 kilometres (six miles) from the Israeli border."There are still arms in the south. The Lebanese authorities must do more, with the support of UNIFIL, to secure the region and clear it of weapons," the general told leading Beirut daily An-Nahar. The Italian commander, whose comments were translated into Arabic, said there were no results yet from the UN probe into the attack, which has not been claimed by anyone.
By Nazih Siddiq, QALAMOUN, Lebanon (Reuters) – Lebanese soldiers killed six Islamist militants, most of them foreigners, during a clash on the outskirts of the northern town of Qalamoun early on Thursday, security sources said. A military source said the gunmen appeared to be linked to al Qaeda-inspired militants of Fatah al-Islam which the army has been battling at a nearby Palestinian refugee camp since May 20.
The fighting between militants and the Lebanese army has killed at least 200 people in Lebanon’s worst internal violence since the 1975-1990 civil war.The firefight on Thursday involved assault rifles and rocket propelled grenades as troops, backed by helicopters strafing the militants’ hideout with machinegun fire, raided the woods on the outskirts of Qalamoun.
The army later blocked off the area near Qalamoun, which is on the Mediterranean coast about 5 km (3 miles) south of the city of Tripoli, and the fighting ended a few hours later.The military source said the group of dead militants were thought to be behind an attack on an army patrol on May 20 in northern Lebanon, one of the initial flare-ups of the fighting that ensued, mainly at the Nahr al-Bared camp.
By Nazih Siddiq TRIPOLI, Lebanon (Reuters) – Lebanese troops killed seven Islamist militants, most of them foreigners, in a raid on their hideout in the northern city of Tripoli on Sunday, while sporadic battles shook a nearby Palestinian refugee camp, Security sources said one soldier was killed and 14 were wounded during the 10-hour siege […]
