Laith Marouf's argument is pure power math.
Whatever got signed, somebody has to execute it, and he insists the Lebanese military wants no part of turning its guns on its own people.
He pointed to reports, unverified, that the army chief has refused orders and refused to resign, telling the president to fire him instead.
In his telling, a secret annex leaked by Israeli media goes beyond weapons to dismantling everything associated with Hezbollah, which he calls a purge no Lebanese force will carry out.
His conclusion goes further than I would: he believes the president and prime minister signed their own political death warrant and may not survive in office.
Fools, tools, or under threat, in his words.
What still puzzles me is why leaders who watched what happened in Syria and Gaza would sign anything while Israel sits on Lebanese soil.
Where we landed together: the moment the other wars stop, the world's attention snaps back to Gaza.
He thinks that's precisely why they never stop.
