“There is no hope for the birth of the new government while the Secretary of State of the United States, Mike Pompeo, is in the position of decision in Washington”, according to the opinion of a political leader close to the axis of the resistance, considering that the accusation of an important team The government headed by Saad Hariri, MP Gebran Bassil, to obstruct the birth of the future government, is just an attempt to obscure the reality of the actual obstruction and ignore the perpetrator, that is, the “American”, This prevents Hariri from forming a government that includes ministers who are representatives or supporters of the Zionist Party. God, or even if they have any connection to the party, on pain of putting the name of the designated president on the United States sanctions list. This matter was not hidden by the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, in his last meeting, and that the designated president cannot override the “American veto”, according to information from the same reference. Furthermore, Hariri fears US-Gulf support for more divisive movements on his street (i.e., the Sunni street), especially in light of the recent rise of his brother Bahaa’s activist movement, on a political and media level, and always according to the opinion of the referent.

He is also surprised by the “insinuations” of one of the spiritual references against the President of the Republic and his team, and the suggestion to the public that they are responsible for hindering the formation of the government, and this is contrary to the truth, according to the reference. It is true that the fundamental reason that hinders the “desired birth”, in addition to the economic pressures on the country, derives from the retaliatory reactions of Pompeo of Lebanon, after the negotiations on the demarcation of the borders between him were suspended. and “Israel”, with what the latter wanted AND to satisfy his interest. Likewise, the US administration and its tools have not managed to “pass the birth of a government in the face of resistance,” as the reference stated.

Based on the above, there is no doubt that the signs point to a delay in the birth of the next government, pending the US change next month. As for relying on the resigned government, not on the spot, after the judicial prosecution of the interim prime minister, Hassan Diab, who enjoyed a sectarian turn, he will not neglect it, according to the opinion of political sources who follow the path of formation of government. And he considers that sectarian tension, in the context of the allegation against Diab, contributed to deepening the dispute over the formation of the future government, and almost aborted its birth, so there was a tendency among some parties that it is possible to activate the government waived, unless acceptable to Diab. As for Hariri, instead of going to accelerate the formation of the government, to stop the collapse and preserve what remains, he went to mobilize the Sunni street, in the context of the accusation against Diab, which took on a sectarian dimension, and then he went to Bkerke after that, to mediate the Maronite Patriarch. Bishara Al-Rai in resolving the government crisis.

In addition to the external obstacles mentioned, the same sources indicated that there are also internal obstacles, represented by the refusal of the “President-designate” to assign the ministries involved in the fight against corruption to the team of the First Presidency. And he concludes by saying: “Each of the two parties has its reasons, when adhering to those ministries, because the team of the Presidency of the Republic is willing to open all corruption files, and the team of the designated President fears political malice during the opening of those files, “he concludes.

In the context, representative sources of the “Strong Lebanon Bloc” affirm that the only and adequate way, which leads to the birth of the future government, is to abide by the constitution and not interpret it in proportion to the political interests of one of the parties involved in the process. government formation, as well as the need to adopt the unit of standards. When it comes to selecting ministers and distributing portfolios, and not in the interest of any Lebanese component at the expense of another, this leads to aborting the birth of the long-awaited government, as well as abandoning the entire French bailout initiative.

It considers that the aforementioned initiative, and the intervention of French President Emmanuel Macron in the crisis line of government formation, can push the parties involved in the authorship, or some of them, to move forward and make concessions, in order to reach to an understanding that leads to the birth of the government, provided that the sticks are not placed. The US government is in the wheels of the French initiative, “as she put it.

On the other hand, sources close to former prime ministers ask: “Why did President Aoun not take any serious step on the road to the formation of a government to accelerate its birth before reaching its total collapse, and does the president of the Republic that the country collapses during his tenure? “

Commenting on this, the March 8 team sources believe that the US agenda in Lebanon only notes Israeli interest, and that the “American Gulf red light” that was lit in Saad Hariri’s face, to dissuade him from forming the government, was turned off simultaneously with the beginning of the negotiations to demarcate the maritime borders between Lebanon and “Israel”. Then, the formation of the government stalled, also coinciding with the cessation of these negotiations, after the “Israeli” negotiator tried to steal an area of ​​860 km of the Lebanese maritime economic zone, and this matter will not happen during the era of General Michel Aoun, and the disposition of the resistance to deter any Aggression, be it warlike or economic. This led the United States and some Gulf countries to put pressure on Hariri, not to name Hezbollah supporters, as well as to try to limit the participation of his ally the Free Patriotic Movement in the possible government, especially after the expansion of the wave of Gulf-Israeli normalization.

It considers that the mediation of the Maronite patriarch Bechara Al-Rai can contribute to the solution of the governmental crisis, given its national and spiritual symbolism, but the desired solution will not be achieved, except through the constitutional institutions of the State, among which it stands out the Presidency of the Republic, a de facto partner in the formation of governments.
