Commissioning rearranges allied cards.

Nazir Rida wrote in Asharq Al-Awsat that mixing the division of political forces on the appointment of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri to form the new government, the alliance documents, and contributed to the fragmentation of the forces on March 8 between the main axes and currents, for the first time since the 2016 presidential elections; Between the “Free Patriotic Movement”, “Hezbollah” and “the Amal Movement”.

The vice president of Parliament, Elie Ferzli, does not consider this division an emergency. Since “the vertical alignment between (8) and (14) began to disappear a long time ago”, referring to the transformations of the president of the “Progressive Socialist Party” Walid Jumblatt, the presidential agreement in 2016 and the “Maarab Accord” in 2015, again in statements to “Asharq Al-Awsat” “Some parties believe that Hariri should not be charged to continue playing the collapse of the state.” “This is a strategic mistake,” he said, stressing that “reproducing the state requires looking realistically, and we put together the basic components of the country; Christians, Sunnis and Shiites. So I think Hariri’s assignment is very necessary to strategic level, because it strengthens the logic of the state. “

With the different reasons that lead the Free Patriotic Movement, the Lebanese Forces and other forces not to name Hariri, Ferzli believes that in the end, “they find themselves on a goal and come to a conclusion, despite different starting points and reasons for that. ” And it confirms that Hariri’s refusal is important The justifications “serve to keep the Sunni community open to various external interference from extremism and countries seeking to enter the Lebanese arena, and the Lebanese north is not proof of this, because the darkness strengthens extremist currents. ” Ferzli emphasizes that “Hariri is the most qualified and accepted by the broadest base to play this role, demonstrate Sunni authority and enhance stability.”
The disagreement over Hariri’s nomination among the “March 8” ranks is the second test of the split after the 2016 presidential election; As it was divided between the supporters of the election of President Michel Aoun and those who opposed him. Amal and the Marada Movement were among the most prominent forces that refrained from electing Aoun at that time.
