Lebanon today »Intensive talks preceding the government and expectations that contradict the results of the communications

Sources in keeping with the government formation file told Asharq Al -Awsat that the president -designate Nawaf Salam continues his discussions to overcome the remaining contract after the dissolution of some contract that prevent the government formation, but talks on the representation of the blocs permanently and the development of names “have not ended yet.”

“We are in the stage of composition now, which means that negotiations are continuing, and nothing is final yet,” noting that “basic notes of a national nature”, and “this does not cancel other notes related to the general perception of the government’s issue and to attend it.” .
The sources explained to Asharq Al -Awsat, that “there is a need for the government to be without minerals, given that this government is a task that it will apply what President (Joseph) Aoun said in the department’s speech in terms of the state’s monopoly of weapons, and it also has to implement what the president said Peace in the letter of assignment, that is, the state (authority) of the state on all its lands, and therefore cannot leave the mine of disruption through the (Shiite) duo inside it.
The sources pointed out that the tasks of this government are “double”, on the one hand, “it must apply sovereignty, meaning the implementation of the ceasefire and the commitment to Resolution 1701 and its application to all Lebanese lands”, while the second task is “reforming to reform a structure extending from 2005 until today, and this is what It is imperative that we not start with a lame government. ”
The news wrote: With the entry of the authorship an allergic stage, some began to ask about the size of the confidence sounds that the government will receive if it was announced as a fait accompli. The sources summarized the existing problems:
First, as soon as there is a understanding between Salam and the duo, Amal and Hezbollah, who handed over the names of his candidates with the bags, and left the Presidents of the Republic and the government to name the candidate for the fifth bag after consulting with the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, the problem of Sunni representation has emerged to the fore. The voices of the Sunni parliamentary blocs came out, protesting against peace with their demands, and intentionally not communicating with them.
Parliamentary sources say that “peace has reached an unacceptable stage in dealing with Sunni forces, as he considers that he summarizes the Sunni representation and does not see anyone.” The matter reached one of the deputies to say: “We asked for the mediation of the former prime minister, Tammam Salam, so we were surprised that the assigned president did not interact with him, and he acted as the one who represents the peace of Al -Salam as well.” Although these blocs did not succeed in holding a meeting to come out with a unified position with each other because of a contrast on dealing with peace, they intersect the idea of ​​not giving confidence to the government in the House of Representatives. In addition, Salam faces a great Sunni “anger” because of the names he presented, especially Hanin Al -Sayed, which prompted Dar Al -Fatwa to communicate with him and register an official objection to him.
Second, the war of “pressure” that peace is exposed to, especially from the groups near it that it is trying to blackmail it with the idea that the credit for calling it as prime minister had. These groups still demand Salam not to give Hezbollah and the Amal movement, which they are demanding, otherwise the results will be “catastrophic”. Some of them go to the point of requesting the exclusion of the party completely, which was expressed by Representative Mark Daw by saying that “Hezbollah must be held accountable for what he did in Lebanon, and it is supposed to pay the right of those who did to go down. And if the government will be sought to be better. ” It is known that Daw is one of the most incitement in the vicinity of Salam, who assigns him tasks with a number of Sunni representatives.
Third, the great knot relates to the Christian share. The leadership of the “Lebanese Forces” party was held yesterday night for discussion in the last of the existing deliberations with Salam. According to the information, “the weather is still very bad between the forces and peace, which refuses to choose the forces its bags or call the names of their ministers.” No, but more than that, he asked her to adopt Asma, which is her proposal, such as Joe Siddiq and Kamal Shehadeh, knowing that the two have nothing to do with God, neither from near nor from far. The forces are expected to announce their final decision immediately, or to delay it until after Salam for his formation, and if he does not take their demands, they will announce that they are not represented in it.
In parallel, the position of the “Free Patriotic Movement” is no less negative than the position of the “forces”. The current expressed its annoyance with the contradiction that peace deals with, as it shows in meetings with representatives of the current openness and positive, but it returns and retracts its obligations when talking about the bags and names.
The current sources revealed that “any communication has not taken place between the assigned president and Minister Gibran Bassil about a week ago.” She confirmed that the current “did not set conditions and did not submit demands and was easy, but this does not mean that we are giving up. Our condition for this was the adoption of a unified logic and the same standards in the authorship process, which was not happening and did not happen. She pointed out that “everyone seems uncomfortable with the performance of the assigned president starting from the President of the Republic,” noting that Basil will talk about the government file today, after the meeting of the Political Council of the Movement, which is the first for it after the name of peace, to “clarify the fallacies and clarify our position because it is not so it is formed Governments ». And to the “forces” and the current, it seems that the “Tashnak” party is also annoyed. The party leadership considers that the names offered by the assigned president do not represent the Armenian community.
It is a belief in the Christian forces that “a peace carries with it a project to cancel the political parties, which began in the movement of October 17, and while it appears in the position of the helpless with Hezbollah and the Amal movement and the Socialist Party, he wants to apply it to others on the pretext that he and President of the Republic Joseph Aoun shorten the Sunni and Christian representation.”
