Arab newspapers reported the decision to appoint the head of the Future Movement, Saad Hariri, to form a new Lebanese government.
Al-Hariri was appointed after obtaining a majority of the votes of the parliament in his parliamentary consultations. This comes a year after he resigned after the outbreak of popular protests.
“The challenge is training”
The Rai Al-Youm newspaper says in its editorial that Hariri’s assignment “sets a unique precedent not in Lebanon, but in the entire Arab region. This is the first time in the history of Arab revolutions, one of which he overthrew to a prime minister on charges of financial, economic and political corruption, to return to office a year later. ” Totally and completely. “
The newspaper adds: “But this time on the basis of a French initiative and American pressure, and imposed negotiations with the Israeli occupation state to demarcate the Lebanese maritime borders with occupied Palestine under the supervision of the United Nations, which led at the beginning of oil and gas exploration. “
Today’s opinion continues: “Lebanese analysts agree that the task is easy, but the challenge lies in the formation and victory of the fourth Hariri government with the confidence of a parliament in which there are two opposing blocs, namely, the resistance bloc, Hezbollah, and the bloc of the Free Patriotic Movement led by Gebran Bassil, Mr. Hariri’s arch enemy, and neither of the two blocs named him, Mr. Hariri only obtained 65 votes in the parliamentary consultations carried out by the president Even out of a total of 128 deputies, with 53 abstentions, and this is a low and fragile approval rating that puts the continuation of the new government, and its success, in the hands of the supposed opposition movement. “.
The Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar says in its editorial: “Saad Hariri came back to the fore without a mask. His resignation was not in response to the demands of the October 17 uprising, nor was his return a popular demand. He returned because he considered the office of prime minister his natural right. He came back promising himself, which was one of the reasons. The collapse has a project to get out of this collapse. “
The newspaper adds: “It is not clear which way to go. Will the coup started by Mustafa Adeeb continue trying to impose new rules that cross the balance of power in the House of Representatives, or will it seek political understandings to form a government of specialists? Is it still difficult to predict the unfinished business on how to deal with it? ” The Free Patriotic Movement: Does the working mechanism differ between commissioning and authorizing, or does it insist on excluding it, so that the President of the Republic is attentive?
Al-Akhbar sees that Hariri “when he resigned a year ago, he again had the opportunity to come armed with the reform document that was approved by the Council of Ministers before his resignation. He did not accept the assignment at the time under the pretext that he did not have the support of the two main Christian parties, but he came back and accepted today. It seems clear that the decision was therefore made by leaving the ship facing sinking. “
The newspaper goes on to say: “Today, when (the ship) is about to sink, it is destined to float. Following the resignation, the decision or advice was said to have come from Jared Kushner, son-in-law and adviser to US President Donald Trump. Is today’s return protected by other advice related to demarcation negotiations and an atmosphere of regional calm? ” From Yemen to Baghdad, through Syria and Lebanon?
Al-Akhbar concludes by saying: “Whoever knows Hariri knows that his insistence on getting the assignment is not the result of his ideas. Without a directive, he cannot take risks. The instruction cannot be only in French and is more than an expression. of concern about the French initiative “.
Facilitating Hariri’s mission
The Egyptian newspaper Al-Youm Al-Sabea quoted Lebanese political analyst Bechara Khairallah as saying that “the parties are obliged to facilitate Hariri’s mission to form the government, because the current stage is exceptional and may be the last chance to secure reforms. necessary and keep pace with the French initiative, in light of the US facilitation. “
Khairallah emphasized that “all political forces do not have a candidate other than Hariri, which means that they are obliged to facilitate the task of the designated Prime Minister to end the collapse and stop the bleeding in preparation to secure reforms, that is, not put the stick in the wheels of government formation. “
In the London-based Al-Arab newspaper, Khairallah Khairallah says: “It is not yet known why more time is wasted in Lebanon, while logic says that any delay in the formation of the government, in light of the mandate of Saad Hariri to form a government makes saving what can be saved closer than an impossible task. “
He adds: “Some people will say that Saad Hariri is not a specialist, but a political person. The answer is very simple. The Prime Minister’s position in Lebanon is political, and it is better for a politician to take it so that the Sunnis do not feel unfair. ”
