Informed sources told the “Major General” in the evening that optimism remains cautious, due to vital compromise points, without explaining what they are.
When Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri came out of the thirteenth meeting with President Michel Aoun, he stepped forward in terms of optimism that my grandfather might have a new government, before glorious Christmas, the day after tomorrow Friday.
What gave optimism was his seriousness, said Prime Minister Hariri, an hour and a quarter after the meeting with President Aoun, that the meeting with His Excellency the President was really positive.
However, informed sources told the “Major General” in the evening that optimism remains cautious, due to vital friction points, without clarifying what they are, but the leaked information indicated that the basic discrepancy continues to be about my internal portfolio. and justice, and this discrepancy has not been abolished, which required the meeting. After the meeting, until tomorrow, and perhaps until the next day, knowing that an agreement was reached that Joe will take over the Ministry of Energy, with French support, and that there has been an understanding regarding the ministries of justice and interior.
The information also speaks of the holding of a meeting between President Aoun, and each of the leaders of the Free Patriotic Movement, the parliamentarian Gebran Bassil, and the presidential adviser Salim Jreissati, focused on evaluating the meeting between the two presidents, and makes two months, the first meeting took place on October 22.
The “Major General” learned from an informed source that Hezbollah had entered the line, and his leadership sent a figure to Baabda to follow the path of efforts and assist if necessary, amid information about the objection of the President Aoun to the name of a Shiite figure included in the cabinet formation.
Sources described the follow-up to today’s meeting as decisive, in terms of issuing decrees or not.
Does the agreement on justice and interior take the authors out of the bottle?
Exactly two months after his assignment to form a government, Prime Minister Hariri made a serious positive signal by announcing, after meeting with President Michel Aoun yesterday, the possibility of announcing the government before Christmas, following efforts made by more of a party to converge points of view on the distribution of bags between the sects.
It is assumed that today the discussion between the two presidents of the final agreement on the squad will be completed, especially with regard to the internal and justice portfolios.
After the meeting, which lasted an hour and a quarter, which is the thirteenth between the two presidents, Prime Minister Hariri addressed the journalists and said: The meeting with His Excellency the President was really positive, as a climate of openness prevailed , and a second meeting was agreed tomorrow (today) with President Aoun without setting a date. It will be held for security reasons, and successive meetings will be held to arrive at a formula to form a government before birth, God willing.
Sources after the meeting reported that the atmosphere was more positive and serious than before, and that the search for bags was carried out differently than before in terms of redistribution of bags in a balanced and fair way between the sects.
However, it was agreed that the composition would be made up of 18 ministers distributed at the rate of six ministers by two Amal and Hezbollah (4 Shiites) and two Christians by the Nationalist Party and the Marada Movement. And six ministers will be nominated by President Michel Aoun, five ministers (aged 4) will be nominated by Hariri and one Druze in agreement with the president of the Progressive Party, Walid Jumblatt, and a Christian minister agreed by Hariri and Aoun.
The follow-up sources said: The positive is that Hariri seemed to understand that President Aoun did not ask for anything for himself, and everything he asked is framed within the framework of Article 95 of the Constitution, which is the lowering of bags to the sects to be fairly represented, and here is the problem and not in the quota system. There is no problem with it as it comes with a smooth flow.
Some sources suggested that the training would be released today or tomorrow if the discrepancy over the justice and interior portfolios was resolved, and if a new discrepancy did not get a name from the names, it would be postponed to another day, as it is assumed that today the names of the proposed ministers and their distribution to the portfolios will be presented.
In the information, Prime Minister Hariri still insists that the Interior Ministry will remain with him and will not allow him to move to Baabda, along with defense and justice.
President Aoun and his team (the head of the Free Patriotic Movement and Foreign Minister Jreissati) insist that the President of the Republic nominate the Minister of the Interior for his part, but the President-designate insists on appointing Judge Ziad Abu Haidar as Minister of the interior, as it is affiliated with the Orthodox Archdiocese of Beirut.
Contrary to previously agreed, Representative Basil refuses to delegate the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is a sovereign ministry, to a Druze figure, whether it is affiliated with former MP Walid Jumblatt or other Druze figures.
And from the controversial portfolios, Baabda’s team adhered to justice, knowing that Prime Minister Hariri began to think that it would be part of his part.
In the information, the French intervention in the line of government formation is still present, through the ambassador, who met repeatedly with officials, Patrick Dorrell, in conjunction with the movement of the Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros Al -Rahi, through former minister Sajaan Azzi, who proceeded to coordinate with the Special Advisor to the president in charge, the former minister. Ghattas Khoury.
Informed sources confirmed that the agreement is to quickly reach a government formation and make efforts so that the agreement requires the introduction of amendments to the government formula presented by Hariri, and if the agreement is specified in today’s expected meeting between them, the possibility that the government sees the light in the next few hours is very great except If the devil moves in the details and the positivity that is built on the flies, knowing that the atmosphere of Bkerke is positive after entering the line of efforts between Baabda and Beit Al Wasat. Is the government born to be the party that tomorrow will be equaled soon, as confirmed by these sources?
And while a ministerial source described the atmosphere of the Baabda meeting as positive to the “Major General,” he saw that the emotional positivity lacked interpretation on the ground.
And when asked if the results were wheat or cereal, he was quick to say: The harvest is not yet complete, asking for anticipation and waiting, highlighting that the problem of authorship is internal, while its interior is external, related to the conflict between the United States and Iran.
The source pointed out that the Patriarch keeps pace with what is happening in terms of meetings and contacts in terms of composition, and has completed his consultations in this regard and is awaiting a response on the proposal, calling on officials to fulfill their promises. .
The powerful Lebanese bloc again played with what it called “unique criteria for the formation process, especially at the level of portfolio distribution, and the confirmation of the full association between them, and from the angle of the association between the two presidents in the formation of the government by agreement “.
