Muhammad Choucair wrote in Asharq Al-Awsat. Informed political sources did not reach the positions recently announced by the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, and said they wanted to convey a message to the United States of America and European countries expressing their willingness to improve their behavior on the basis of distinguishing it from its ally. Hezbollah “in various matters directly related to internal and external archives, in an attempt to float in the conflictive Christian street, which did not hesitate to take up the French initiative that it deals with as the only one capable of rebuilding what was destroyed by the explosion that occurred. in the port of Beirut. “

He noted that Bassil seized the favorable opportunity that opened the door to the formation of a new government, and took the initiative to present his credentials to the United States and the international community out of his desire that international provisions targeting “Hezbollah” not they are withdrawn, and therefore he wanted for the first time with this clarity to mark a distance for himself. Because his ally imposed US sanctions on him.

Political sources attributed Bassil’s willingness to send signals that understand his political distancing from “Hezbollah” to the fact that the doors are closed to his presidential ambitions for his accession, so he has no choice but to turn to the United States and some countries. Europeans. Perhaps this gesture will lead him to polish his image again in an attempt to include his name in the list of candidates for the presidency, especially since he does not have the capacity to correct his relations with several Arab countries.

He emphasized that Bassil is currently betting on achieving a disengagement with the Maronite Church headed by Patriarch Bechara Al-Ra’i, and this is what emerged from his rejection of the principle of the triad and his openness to the latter’s call for neutrality. from the activist Lebanon and its lack of support for the Ministry of Finance to remain part of the Shiite participation in the government of criticism, in addition to his visit. The Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) for Lebanon.

The same sources asked about the reasons that he dictated to Bassil without the green light of “Hezbollah” given the determination of his ally to gradually withdraw from Syria, and also for his neglect of the US sanctions imposed on former minister Yusef Fenianos (the Marada Movement) and the political assistant to the president of Parliament Nabih. Berri, MP Ali Hassan Khalil, who is an ally of his ally, what does “Hezbollah” mean and is he in constant contact with him?

I also asked him about the impartiality with which he treated the presence of the international forces “UNIFIL” in the south, considering that it is the demand of the southerners to implement International Resolution 1701, in addition to his presentation of the reality of the situation resulting from the entry from these forces to private property without taking the “Hezbollah” position on the matter.

Bassil criticized the failure of the Lebanese sand to those who wanted to use it to send messages, referring to the threats made by the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, and others who are visiting Lebanon for this purpose, forcing a source from the “March 14 Forces” to previously comment on their new positions by saying “Al-Sharq” Al-Awsat »He evokes our positions that he criticized previously, out of consideration for his allies in the axis of resistance.

Therefore, Basil does not intend to abandon the French initiative because it will collide – as political sources say – with a rejecting Christian position relying on the role that President Emmanuel Macron has played in rebuilding Beirut and providing financial support to stop the economic collapse and financial that is pushing the level of Lebanese emigration, led by Christians abroad. . The sources considered that the Christian reaction to the failure of the French initiative will not be in harmony with the reaction of the Shiite street, nor will they be able to converge around common denominators, and said that the Shiite duo has the ability to pull on the nerves to the Most Shiites under the pretext that there are those who point it out by not assigning the Ministry of Finance to a Shiite figure. But it is difficult for her to win the support of the Christian street.
