Kamal Jumblatt used to describe the political man as one who is not possessed by stagnation or stagnation, and is always daring in political initiative, so he does not succumb to reality, nor is he based on weakness, but rather presents himself where it is necessary, and resists where it is necessary to abstain. At various stages, Hariri took such measures, regardless of the debate over his results, which sometimes hits and sometimes disappoints. But he did it more than once, even if he was forced to make concessions, as he did in the presidential agreement or later.
A car without brakes
On Friday, Hariri took a surprising new step, with many meanings and connotations. He picked up the phone and informed government offices that he would visit the head of the interim government, Hassan Diab, despite all the disputes that reached the limit of personal conflict. Hariri’s initiative came after the complaint made by the judicial investigator, Judge Fadi Sawan, to the head of the provisional government for the crime of bombing the port of Beirut. The accusation against Diab arises because he received reports of explosive materials in the port and was preparing to pay a visit there, but he returned and refused to do so. Diab wasn’t the only one who knew it, the President of the Republic knew it too. Hariri captured the moment when the prime minister was pointing at a person and a poster, and decided to visit the seat of government. He broke the ice with Diab, and “hugged” him at the time of being alone and harassing him, arguing that he has no coverage and has no capacity for representation.
Hariri’s move is “bold” by political standard. He says he is interested in the site and the role of the prime minister, and does not agree to be a target. The visit overcomes the dispute and its ramifications, but sets up a broader battle in politics. In politics, all personal considerations also drop, so Hariri is the man who is interested in the site. It was he who gave a more operative and influential character to the “institution” of the former prime ministers. The visit is in solidarity with Diab, and is integrated with the positions of Presidents Najib Mikati, Fouad Siniora and Tammam Salam, especially since there is a Lebanese feeling that the pact has become a car without brakes, wanting to run over everyone with political, media and judicial battles, so it has become imperative to oppose him.
Steps to face
These facts establish a major problem in the country, the position of Hariri, together with the former prime ministers, rejecting the submission of Diab to the prosecution. Note that you made a previous witness testimony. The failure of Diab to undergo an investigation may be accompanied by a similar stance from former ministers Ali Hassan Khalil, Ghazi Zuaiter and Youssef Fenianous. Hariri’s position is in line with the position of former prime ministers, who consider that the pact turns the prime minister into a stick-breaker, and are willing to embrace Diab, at the time of his abandonment by the pact, which he wanted use in the internal arrangement game.
After his meeting with Diab, Hariri stated: “The families of the Beirut port martyrs have the right to know the truth about who killed their children. As for violating the constitution and claiming the prime minister, it is unacceptable. That is why I came to support Prime Minister Hassan Diab and show solidarity with him. “
Hariri’s move comes after he took three basic steps. First, he presented a government formation to the President of the Republic, based on his conviction that it should include ministers who are not affiliated with the political forces. He himself worked in the selection of ministers. Secondly, his refusal to obtain the government proposal handed to him by President Michel Aoun, which means that Hariri is preparing for a confrontation. And thirdly, with his understanding with Jumblatt, former prime ministers and President Nabih Berri, he returns to his firm rules on the need to confront the pact, which wants to exhaust everyone and use them in his battles.
In the midst of this, Hariri confirms that the doors to the formation of a government have already been closed due to the positions of the president of the Republic and the president of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, and this will establish a greater battle.
