Beirut – The political stalemate in Lebanon and the multidirectional crisis are heading towards more complex scenarios with the absence of a consensual solution between the political forces and with an impulse to fuel the existing conflict and the interventions that are knocking on the country’s doors. that is on the brink of collapse, while the Lebanese await a breakthrough in the crisis, other crises explode sectarian and personal headlines and battles of influence.
At a time when Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri began a visit to Qatar in search of support, while the formation of the government was stalled in a dispute with President Michel Aoun and mutual accusations between the two heads of power, the head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, on Thursday went to the last solution or the maximum that could be done to solve the crisis, as President Aoun called for his resignation and early parliamentary elections followed by presidential elections.
Between this and that, ambiguity continues to dominate the situation and stubbornness is the epitome of the political arrogance that pushes Lebanon day after day into a dark tunnel.
Amid the recent crisis between him and Aoun, Hariri is moving in search of external support even before forming his government, which is mired in political squabbles.
In this context, he met on Thursday with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in Doha, where the latter affirmed his support for Lebanon, highlighting the need to accelerate the formation of a new government to face “crises and challenges. “.
The Qatar News Agency stated that during the meeting, “the most prominent developments in Lebanon were reviewed as Hariri briefed the Emir of Qatar on the latest developments in the situation and efforts related to the formation of the government.”
Due to political differences, Lebanon has so far been unable to form a government to succeed the current interim government led by Hassan Diab, who resigned on August 10, 6 days after a catastrophic explosion in the port of Beirut.
The Emir of Qatar called on “all Lebanese parties to give priority to the national interest to accelerate the formation of a new government to face the crises and challenges facing Lebanon.”
For more than a year, Lebanon has been experiencing an economic crisis, the worst since the end of the civil war (1975-1990), which was aggravated by the repercussions of the Corona pandemic and the explosion of the port.
And earlier this month, Qatari Foreign Minister Muhammad Abdul Rahman Al Thani visited Beirut and at that time expressed his country’s readiness to facilitate the formation of the Lebanese government.
Hariri and the Presidency of the Republic exchange accusations of being responsible for obstructing the formation of the government, given the conversations about the desire of the parties to obtain the “third blockade.”
And the obstructed third means that a political faction gets a third of the number of ministerial portfolios, allowing it to control its decisions and disrupt its meetings.
