Israel drags feet on Lebanon troop pullout ahead of legislative vote
Israel is still procrastinating and coming up with excuses to delay withdrawal from south Lebanon despite U.S. and Lebanese pressure in this regard, media reports said.
The Israeli government wants to delay any withdrawals until after the Israeli parliamentary elections, scheduled for October, the reports said.
“So far the efforts have not reached final results, knowing that Lebanon is coordinating with the Americans over the occupied territories from which Israel is supposed to withdraw so that the Lebanese Army can enter them,” the reports added.

In the three days before people commit suicide, it is too late to change their minds. Israel seems to be in a death-plunge. For instance, I doubt it is telling Trump what to do any longer.

Watch the ten year bond yield, now back up to 4.6%, and Brent crude is just about back to $80.00. Maybe Lindsey Graham was a steadying influence on Trump.
