The sources told the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that Basil’s conditions to facilitate the formation of the government return inquiries to zero.
A Lebanese political source said that the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Deputy Gebran Bassil, in his response to the sanctions imposed on him by the United States Treasury, wanted to enter the line of ongoing consultations between President Michel Aoun and the president. in charge of forming the new government, Saad Hariri, to evade the specifications that are being launched. The last one is to accelerate its birth, although it indicated that the imposition of sanctions may be a reason to accelerate its formation, which threatens to return to the starting point, that is, the zero point, if Aoun adopts its conditions and receives the support of Hezbollah, which refuses to pressure Bassil before the issue of the Punishments, will not leave him alone after it is issued, so that his opponents are not alone with him.
Basil was enthusiastic in his response to the sanctions yesterday, noting that they are targeting him in the context of his political choices and his unwillingness to sever his association with “Hezbollah”, to convey a message to his ally that the Sanctions will be used to upset internal balances, specifically by his opponents to the defunct US administration preparing to leave the White House. After the defeat suffered by US President Donald Trump at the hands of his rival, Joe Biden.
For this reason, Bassil insisted – as the political source told “Asharq Al-Awsat” – on including the implications of the US sanctions that were imposed on him in the ongoing consultations between Hariri and Aoun, despite the fact that their last meeting did not succeed. no progress, and the different positions regarding the formation of the government remained the same, because the environment What prevailed in the meeting prevented the allocation of enough time to complete the discussion between them, since the “spectrum” of sanctions was present par excellence, at least on Aoun’s side.
In this context, the same source pointed out that Bassil hinted that he is facilitating the formation of the government, but with his conditions that he considers as a roadmap, warning that non-compliance with a rule adopted in his formation will delay his birth, and that whoever delays it you have the responsibility, and this constitutes a blow against the norms. Where Hariri comes from.
The source said that Hariri will not be attracted to Basil’s conditions, in terms of the number of ministers or in terms of appointing ministers, and will have the appropriate response, and perhaps until after his exploration of Aoun’s position to make sure of if he conforms to Bassil’s opinion or is willing to differentiate himself from him, although there are those who are excluded. Leave him alone, but hug him.
He believed that Hariri, in light of Aoun’s final position, would build on what he required, and asked if the prime minister-designate would come to meet him this time with a preliminary vision for the formation of a government of 18 ministers, and Aoun did not object to his size, and even if the parties close to him directed him to reconsider his position. In response to Basil’s request.
Although the political source did not confirm whether Hariri was willing to accept to expand the circle of exceptions, in terms of not applying the rotation in the distribution of bags to its maximum extent, given what his opponents propagated that he would keep the Ministry of the Interior away from the Sunni community, parliamentary sources blamed Hariri. His reluctance to come forward from Aoun with a draft ministerial alignment to test his reaction of blocking the way to link his authorship with the sanctions that targeted Basil.
He added that the sanctions did not surprise the political center, and were expected, and this is what should be taken into account, especially since the country is not likely to extend the stagnation in the authorship consultations, otherwise, how can spend the positive vibe Aoun speaks of in the language of his media office, even in exchange for no comment? In Hariri, or on the lips of your media office
The source emphasized that Hezbollah will not abandon its relationship with Basil, and will meet with him at the beginning of the road, in order to provide him with all the support, since the sanctions that targeted him came for political reasons related to its alliance with him, and for Therefore, he will respond by strengthening his alliance with him, giving rise to his response to anyone who tries to weaken him in the agreed agreement. Form a government and turn it into an advantage for others.
He said that Hezbollah would be a spearhead to float Bassil, and would not allow him to be punished or retaliated against him, under the pretext of weakening him in ministerial formation, even if he was forced to come into contradiction with his ally, the President of Parliament Nabih Berri, who is pressing for the withdrawal of the consultation on the composition of the deadlock. Parliamentary sources were quoted as saying that the presentation of a draft ministerial composition would pressure to restart the consultations that are still in a vicious circle, in addition to testing Aoun’s response on the ground.
He asked if Hezbollah was willing to provide Bassil with political protection from sanctions, and treat them as if they did not exist. Rather, with their help, I should not only defend him, but also fight alongside him to be the first present in the next government, and this means that the President of the Republic is at the event. He decided to support Bassil in a blank way that would get involved in a political clash with Hariri, who will not apologize for the commission, and will insist that the next government respond to the French initiative presented by President Emmanuel Macron to save Lebanon, and therefore there is nothing that prevents you from training 100 percent technocratic ministers, no. Suspicions hang over them.
