The data indicated that the contract facing the government remains the same, especially in terms of Adib’s insistence on not communicating with the blocs that named him and took him away for not consulting with them in the training file and his insistence on distributing portfolios and imposing names, which is what the two movements Hezbollah and Amal saw as a political coup. Adeeb clearly informed the President of the Republic of his refusal to communicate with the parliamentary blocs.
In the two meetings, which Aoun met with each of the heads of the “Al-Wafa for the Resistance” bloc, MP Muhammad Raad, and the political assistant to the President of Parliament, Representative Ali Hassan Khalil, the two sides renewed a previous message rejecting the “attempt by some, specifically former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, to form a government alone or in coordination with former Prime Ministers, this is a dangerous matter”, and that “Hezbollah and the Amal Movement will not agree to resign from the Ministry of Finance, nor will they accept the cancellation of a basic component. ” Raad and Khalil emphasized that “the other parties are free to choose whether to participate or not, but we do not accept the exclusion of the Shiite community from the political process or that any minister be appointed a Shiite without consulting us, and any such government means going to a problem in the country “.

Sources close to Adeeb told Al-Akhbar that “he will apologize for not accepting the assignment in case an understanding is not reached, and that he can apologize tomorrow (today), because he does not want a political clash with the Hezbollah movement and Amal imposing a fait accompli government, and not with Prime Minister Hariri and the former prime ministers, yielding to both, “he said. Although political sources familiar with the allocation line denied the above, noting that “the issue was not raised either closely or far,” additional data emerged yesterday indicating that the French initiative is faltering in US conditions and strikes by one side, and the French badly managing the initiative.
French sources, who made a “recount” of the initiatives of the last two weeks, acknowledge that Paris has sunk into the Lebanese mud. On the one hand, it is besieged by an American condition that demands the exclusion of Hezbollah from the government. This is what United States Under Secretary of State David Schenker expressed in his recent visit to Beirut, when he told several of those he met that Washington was understood to support Paris as long as his initiative produced a government without a party. On the other hand, the French initiative suffered from a fundamental flaw represented by the multiplicity of cooks: the embassy in Beirut, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the foreign intelligence service and the Elysee. Each of these departments has its “sources” that provide it with “information” and estimates … as well as lists of minister candidates, whose resumes were collected in Beirut and sent to the French capital for verification! According to French sources, one of the mistakes made was the ease with which the authorship issue was left to the trio of Saad Hariri, Fouad Siniora and Najib Mikati. The first one ended up “depressed” at home; The second is to protest against the participation of the “Future” parliamentary bloc, represented by Representative Samir Al-Jisr, in the consultations that Aoun called, because this step is a recognition of the president’s “right” to the participation of the prime minister in writing. ; As for the third, he ended up washing the hands of his former office manager, Adib, accusing Hariri of only managing authorization negotiations (here, French sources confirm that Azmi Taha Mikati, the former prime minister’s nephew, plays a key role in coordination with the French).
A second mistake recorded by French sources, crossing over with Lebanese sources, in terms of treating Lebanese reality lightly, and believing that Macron shedding his political weight will easily triumph in his initiative. For example, the problem today goes beyond the issue of the financial portfolio to the rest of the ministers and portfolios, until it reaches the ministerial statement. Faced with this reality, France and some Arab countries, along with the United States, have no choice but to intimidate the unrest that will begin in Lebanon as soon as the French initiative is declared overthrown, and “the Shiite duo will be responsible for the obstruction.”

The dominant negativity was fueled by the US position that, since the day before yesterday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo fired “direct fire” at the initiative of Macron, criticizing the meeting of the French president with a senior Hezbollah official. Pompeo said that “Hezbollah, the Iranian representative, has been the dominant political actor for almost three decades, and today in Beirut corruption is widespread and the financial and political system is disrupted,” expressing regret that “France refuses to classify to all of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, as it has done. ” Other European countries, and restricted the advancement of the European Union to this extent. In an article he wrote in the French newspaper “Le Figaro”, Pompeo said: “In contrast, Paris maintains the illusion that there is a political wing of Hezbollah, despite the control of a terrorist, Hassan Nasrallah.” He stated that “on August 14, France, along with the United Kingdom and Germany, did not support the United States’ decision to renew the arms embargo (on Iran) in the Security Council,” and asked: “How can France vote to abolish the arms embargo and then meet with President Macron? With a senior Hezbollah official in Beirut the following week? Pompeo had warned France that its efforts to resolve the crisis in Lebanon could be in vain. ” if the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah weapon issue is not immediately addressed. “
