Removing or containing Hezbollah
But the forces’ vision is not compatible with the vision of the other forces that contributed to delivering aid and peace. The sources indicate that there is a discrepancy between these forces between those who consider that, after what he calls the defeat of the duo in all past entitlements, it is necessary to invest the victory until the end and push it to the ranks of the political opposition, and those who stress the necessity of not adopting the logic of exclusion and exclusion because that would create a situation. A collective feeling of injustice within the Shiite community, which may lead to an explosion whose form and timing no one can determine.
The debate within these forces is currently focused on whether the duo’s clear request for the Ministry of Finance should be given in. The sources indicate that the majority of these forces have become convinced that this request cannot be ignored, and that what Hezbollah and Amal were silent about, whether in the presidential elections or in the process of appointing a prime minister, will not remain silent about it if it is decided to resort to the principle of portfolio rotation, as they consider that this principle targets The Shiite community by depriving it of the third signature.
More than one scenario is being proposed to deal with the issue of the Ministry of Finance. While the first scenario says that it will be left to the duo, with the possibility that it will be handed over to the acting Governor of the Bank of Lebanon, Wassim Mansouri, given his good relationship with the Americans, a second scenario is being discussed that matches the first, as it says of a peace understanding with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. A non-partisan Shiite figure (i.e. Mansouri). Thus, the duo achieved their demand to keep the ministry from the Shiite share, and at the same time they did not Handing over to a party figure will provoke other political forces.
The sources believe that the real discussion taking place inside the closed rooms is beyond the Ministry of Finance and is linked to the presence of two approaches in the opposition environment to Hezbollah. The first approach says to invest everything that happened in an attempt to break it and isolate it, and the second approach says to absorb it, contain it, and not remove it from the political equation because that will lead to uncalculated reactions. It appears that Presidents Joseph Aoun and Nawaf Salam are advocates of adopting the second approach, knowing that uncalculated steps will lead to the failure of the covenant and the shackle of this government if those concerned succeed in forming it.
