The re-entry of the American-French-Saudi axis into the line of formation of the Lebanese government.
Lebanese sources reported the re-entry of the American-French-Saudi axis into the Lebanese government formation line and the obstruction in this case.
The United States has shifted its hostility to Hezbollah from the case of the formation of the Lebanese government to the case of the economic crisis and the import of fuel from Iran to Lebanon, and has decided to take measures such as the transfer of gas from Lebanon. Egypt and forcing Lebanon to borrow from the International Monetary Fund will prevent Iranian fuel from entering Lebanon and thus Hezbollah’s victory, so the Lebanese government’s case is not a priority for the Americans at the moment, and also given Saudi Arabia’s ambiguous position on the Lebanese government. The two sides appear to have withdrawn from direct access to the case.
Accordingly, former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who resigned shortly before the formation of the government in Lebanon, has decided to take direct action to prevent the formation of the cabinet of the incumbent Prime Minister of Lebanon, Najib Mikati. Has nominated Abdullah Bouhabib, the former Lebanese ambassador to the United States, as foreign minister in the next administration, which Hariri has reportedly objected to.
The information obtained shows that Saad Hariri’s protest stems from the positions of Saudi Arabia as well as the United States and France; Because the Saudis see Abdullah Bouhabib as incapable of following Riyadh’s position in the Lebanese government, as well as Washington and Paris, they want to persuade Saudi Arabia in the Lebanese government’s case, and that is why he suddenly entered the arena to disrupt the agreements reached between Lebanese President Michel Aoun and Najib Mikati have been appointed.
Informed Lebanese sources reported that to date the government has neither been formed nor resigned, and efforts and consultations are ongoing. The date of the next meeting between Michel Aoun and Najib Mikati may be on Thursday, but Mikati’s resignation is not an option; Even if his mandate to form a cabinet lasts a month, because such a decision would be a major setback, and there is no alternative to it after Mikati’s resignation, and Lebanon will not be able to endure this huge political vacuum until parliamentary and presidential elections.
Al-Akhbar newspaper, on the other hand, reported that while a meeting between the president and the caretaker prime minister was scheduled for yesterday, the meeting was postponed to another date. At present, there is no indication that the path to the formation of the noble Mikati government is open and that the team he is taking to the presidential palace to agree on the formation of a cabinet will make great progress.
According to the report, the biggest evidence of the lack of progress in the case of the formation of the Lebanese government is the slowdown in the pace of meetings between the president and the prime minister, so that an exact date can not be determined for them.
