Beirut – Omar Habanjar
After bombarding artillery in wars, reconnaissance and ambulance teams go forward to explore and clarify the results in preparation for how to deal later.
It is only natural that after US sanctions hit the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, the French reconnaissance team came to inspect the situation in preparation for follow-up.
And between the American stick and the French carrot, the Lebanese political team must be firm, either because of the governmental follow-up, according to the coordinates of the French initiative, which is still in the nap of the US presidential elections, or receiving more “strikes. “punitive of a political nature this time during the remaining period of existence. President Donald Trump in the White House.
With the arrival of the French consultant Patrick Dorrell, the Free Patriotic Movement called, through its television station “OTV”, to separate the government formation process, from all external factors, and focus on criminal scrutiny in the accounts of the Central Bank and state ministries.
While the “external factor” represented by French Chancellor Dorrell is at the heart of the game, at the invitation of President Michel Aoun, in his last contact with French President Emmanuel Macron, a few days ago.
Most of the analyzes were found on the difficulty of the task of the French presidential adviser, starting from the axiom of excluding the success of the agent, as Al-Aseel failed, and here MTV says: “Government affairs are backwards.” After the American elections, it will be no less bad than it was. Faced with the imposition of sanctions on Deputy Gebran Bassil, as well as doubts that Lebanese officials will implement what they would promise the French delegate, while they themselves showed no commitment to implement what they personally promised President Macron.
Dorrell’s arrival in Beirut was preceded by statements by the US Secretary of State, Mike Yumbeo, in which he indicated that the head of the Free Patriotic Movement in Lebanon, Representative Gebran Bassil, is deeply linked to a “terrorist organization”. which is Hezbollah, highlighting that the Lebanese people want an independent country and want from the corrupt class.

For his part, the Lebanese Foreign Minister Charbel Wahba commented on the issue of sanctions saying: We are living a new stage of dealing with a superpower, and he told “O, TV” that the sanctions against Deputy Bassil and others have a administrative, political and non-judicial character.
He said: The judiciary and the law are the ones who punish, not the administrative work, but the superpower, doing the action of the sultan, decides and imposes the sanctions as it wants, adding that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a letter to the US administration, based on the request of President Aoun, to inquire about the data, motives, facts and documents.
In any case, concerned sources said the French delegate will focus on the need to form a government, ahead of the French-sponsored support conference to support the collapse of the Lebanese economy, and that at the end of this month.
Baabda will ask Dorrell probing questions about what “important government” means, what is meant by specialized ministers, and how and on what basis they are appointed, based on President Macron’s initiative, with emphasis on the parliamentary blocs’ desire to nominate. to their representatives in the government, so that they are truly specialists and can assume the position. Without going back to his political references, and therefore he must convince the designated prime minister, Saad Hariri, to opt for collective opinion.
The government file was discussed by Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah in a televised appearance last night.
Circles noted the return of the Americans to Lebanon from the door of sanctions, and the Russians from the door of displaced Syrian and French people from the door of government formation, so that the doors of Lebanon remain open to the unknown.
