The absence of the “party” allies from the funeral is based on new alliances?

Paula Istah wrote in “Al -Sharq Al -Awsat”:

It was remarkable during the funeral of Hezbollah, its former and previous general secretaries, on Sunday, the absence of expanded official representation, especially from a group of its allies who decided to replace directly in the popular funeral, to offer condolences in the southern suburb of Beirut in the past two days.

Perhaps the most prominent of these: the former President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, the President of the “Free Patriotic Movement”, MP Gibran Bassil, and the head of the “Karama” movement, MP Faisal Karami, in addition to personalities that had a good relationship with God’s victory before his assassination, such as the Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, and former Prime Minister Najib Mikati, knowing that “Hezbollah” had been sent to represent representatives in the two weeks that preceded the funerals of the funerals. Official.

While Aoun and Basil sent a delegation representing them, then they returned and presented condolences in the suburb, Jumblatt was satisfied with condolences and did not send the “Progressive Socialist Party” representatives of it to the funeral. The front rows in the funeral top the “party”, the head of the “Marada Movement”, Suleiman Franjieh, and the head of the “Lebanese Democratic Party” Talal Arslan.

Sources familiar with the atmosphere of “Hezbollah” said that “each party must be asked about the reason for not participating, not to be asked (Hezbollah) about this, knowing that it was reported that there is American and external pressure exerted to limit the official participation in the funeral.” As for whether this will affect future political alliances, the sources explained, in a statement to Asharq Al -Awsat, that “these alliances are linked to political conditions and election law, and not an immediate reaction.”

Activists close to Hezbollah launched a violent campaign against the “party” allies who did not participate in the funeral, and they saw that “party leadership should reconsider its future alliances with those who confirmed the experience that they were not loyal.”

After offering condolences in the suburb, Jumblatt was considered that “this day constitutes an influential station in the history of the Islamic and Arab nation,” stressing “adherence to complete liberation and the application of international decisions.”

As for Basil, he wrote in the record of condolences, heading to Nasrallah: “I met you over and over, and I did not realize that the adults like you were leaving without farewell.” He added: «I will continue to deposit you in the eyes of all those who love you and believe in you, and you will remain a symbol for every resistance believer in his cause. You and will remain more than a friend, a precious, and an example of intensity and steadfastness. ” He concluded: “We will continue to work with those who carried the trust to preserve Lebanon.”

For his part, MP Karami, who missed the funeral, wrote in a tweet via the X platform: “O the tolerance of the master, oh honesty, all honesty, oh ethics, all morals, O faith, all faith, O our great martyr you, the master of speech; What words can he inherit you and you were the one you were? We will miss you, and all of Lebanon will miss you. ”

Dr. Sami Nader, director of the “East Center for Strategic Affairs”, is considered that “participation in the funeral of Nasrallah, the first ally of Iran; Something, and the offer of condolences is completely different, “noting in a statement to” Al -Sharq Al -Awsat “that what happened is the result and reflection of the” coup of the equation in the region. All the balance of power changed radically, which led to the change of the equation at home … a change that started through President Naguib Mikati at the Riyadh summit, and was translated with the election of a president on the basis of a discourse of division that we have not seen before, and continued in the way of forming the government of Nawaf Salam with the speed and international support he enjoys ». Nader believes that «the retreat of (Hezbollah) allies, which is translated and will be translated into various forms, is an expected result of (the geopolitical earthquake) that occurred in the region, and Iran’s influence has declined significantly.

The collapse of the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al -Assad was a major political turn and a resounding slap for its allies and “Hezbollah” allies in Lebanon, including politicians and media, and they either decided to retreat and completely move away from the media and social communication, or they decided to turn directly to it. Wahhab and Kermi’s harmony, which were very close to Assad, were very remarkable positions that formed a major political management.

Hezbollah’s opponents are considered that, and after the decision -maker in the government, although he was only representative of two ministers and attracted deputies and political blocs whose representation reaches 51 deputies, his representation will be limited from now on to his bloc, which includes 15 deputies.
