Report: Hizbullah Won't Name Hariri for Premiership
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةHizbullah will not name al-Mustaqbal Movement leader MP Saad Hariri for the post of premiership, al-Akhbar daily reported on Tuesday.
The daily pointed out to expectations and agreements that were reached before the presidential election that suggested assigning MP Hariri at the head of the government.
But all eyes are on the leadership of two main parliamentary blocs, Hizbullah and AMAL Movement bloc, which have not made any decision as yet with regard to assigning Hariri.
The daily said that all indicators so far show that Hizbullah will not name the Mustaqbal head.
On Monday Lebanon's parliamentarians elected founder of the Free Patriotic Movement MP Michel Aoun president of the republic after a longtime vacuum that has been plaguing Lebanon since May 2014 when the term of the president ended.
Aoun was tipped to become president after ex-PM Hariri formally endorsed his nomination earlier this month.
Reports say that Aoun is expected to nominate Hariri to return as prime minister, leading some to describe his support for the ex-general as a tit-for-tat.
Binding parliamentary consultations for the designation of a new premier have been scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, hours after Michel Aoun was elected as Lebanon's 13th president.
Earlier on Monday, Aoun signed a decree accepting the resignation of Prime Minister Tammam Salam's government and asking it to act in caretaker capacity until the formation of a new government.
lol
Oh, now it does not violate the national pact and coexistence when Hezbollah does not name the "strongest" Sunni Leader with the largest Sunni parliamentary block.
hypocrites!
hezbollah has already said they would not nominate hariri (understandably so after all that saad has done against them in the name of sauds). they also said however that they will not oppose him either, which basically means he will be PM, a bit like some parties did not vite for aoun and yet did not oppose his election.
not a big fan of hariri as everyone here knows, but if aoun and hariri can work together at the two highest official positions, and have a vast majority of the parliament with them, then hopefully some progress can finally be made in this country
Balanced and Calm
Always going where no one else dares
@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said " not a big fan of hariri as everyone here knows "
Thank you for making this forum lively and vibrant.
Still laughing since January 2015.
Thank you
Yours Sincerely
@CFTC
I respect Mr. Mowaten for wearing his heart on his sleeve for the sake of progress in this country.
The Saudis knows that they can not further their ambitions with Rifi, because Rifi is not popular outside of his Tripoli stronghold.
Also their dwindling influence can be seen and heard.
Hariri still have more influence than Rifi in the political arena, so the Saudis they made Hariri endorse Aoun as their last resort to gain some leverage on the Lebanese politics and institutions.
.mowaten. I'm not a big poster here but I have been using this site for over 44 years and recently I have been liking your posts, you're the only one informing these deluded ignorants. :)
Indeed Mystic, and I don't think any one ever had any serious expectations from rifi, not even his makers in saudi. Maybe at some point they hoped to use him as a scarecrow, some sort of "scary alternative" that would be propped up if their other demands are not met, but even a that he turned out to be a joke, nobody who is anybody follows, respects or fears him.
Finally they had to accept what they had spent years swearing would never happen, aoun president, and try to salvage what they could by squeezing saad into the package deal. All in all it's a good compromise, let's wait and see what turns out.
"nobody who is anybody follows, respects or fears him. "
Is that why you ( and your multiple accounts ) and all the shia on this forum have to mention his name in each and every one of your paid comments.
look at those sectarian scum fuming and foaming at the mouth, calling all those who wont fall for their takfiri incitement "shias"... for the millionth time i am an atheist but if you think you insult me by calling me shia you are wrong, they have more dignity and honor in a toenail than you will ever have.
OMG ! OMG ! OMG!
Even on an article regarding Hezbollah not naming Hariri, I find you @mowaten spamming, trolling, and terrorizing other posters. What kind of person are you? New evidence surfaces by the minute that you are a paid poster but the question remains who pays you and for what exact purpose? Is it the Iranian embassy, is it the revolutionary guard, is it the syrian intelligence or the ex-KGB? These questions must be answered by you and NOW!
We will see.
The idea of Rifi becoming PM, as many of you wanted.
You can say goodbye to that dream, Hariri still have a chance though.
For the time being, Tamam Salam is a good PM.

"Mystic: For the time being, Tamam Salam is a good PM."
22 January 2016
"Mystic: Salam is a Saudi stooge and not an independent minister as he said.
Lebanon does not consider themselves part of any Arab coalition. It is part of the axis of Resistance and will remain so."

@terro
the camouflaged half jews like you, don't see themselves represented in anyway, it's obvious.. keep whining!
btw: your support for Nusra's lover like Rifi makes sense, Israel is their logistic gateway.
More so than Hariri whom smeared the Resistance countless times.
Saudis did have influence on Tamam Salam back when I made that comment, using him as a puppet sometimes, but he changed later when much of the Saudi influence perished in Lebanon.
@eagledawn
people change from time to time, once they feel close to the wahhabi state and sometimes don't.... exactly like Hariri when he named Aoun for president, try to think.
"I don't see much difference between Rifi and Hariri"
because there is none..; all lebanese politicians are the same: just wanting to fill their bank accounts. 20 years since civil war finished: but still no electricity, no water, no good infrastructure, all admins corrupted, no good salaries, a polluted country, concrete everywhere, pesticides, rotten meat,and so on... so which politician made a difference and improved lebanon? NONE...
lebanese have the choice to shut up and watch their games...or are invited to take part in it to feel they try to make a difference!
lol FT, that's just too much information for this drone's lonely neuron to process at once
salam is a flowerpot, he was put there to decorate the void, nothing to be expected from him.
@flamethrower; in your great command of the English language and iranian timeline does "Salam is a Saudi stooge" takes place before or after he is a good PM for the time being:))
@flamethrower MF ( My Friend )
So nice and refreshing to see you post after such a long hiatus. I was afraid you would be rusty; I was afraid you would be apprehensive; I was afraid your output per article would be negligible; I was afraid you would not have new ideas; I was afraid you would be stale; I was afraid you would not be engaging;
To my surprise you picked up where you left off: same zest for expressing your unbiased opinion; knowledgeable on every detail and post as if you never left; engaging every poster tirelessly; and above all you came back rejuvenated and better than ever.
I look forward to more of your contributions in the near future and to learn from your vast data base of knowledge.
My dear Friend @bigjohn
Why would you want the Speaker position if the President is a member of HA.
no where in the constitution does it say that hezbollah has to nominate Hariri but it does say that sunnis must nominate aoun or else they are marginalizing the christians in Libanon.
I am particularly thankful to Hariri and mousstakbal for their support of general aoun. we will reward them by not nominating hariri for the premiership.
i wonder where you are and how you are dear flamethrower as you lay in pieces and tranquility at your final resting place in Aleppo. RIP Shia Hero....
Hello @terrorist
I am flamethrower and how are you on this blessed Tuesday. Do you know why I was repeatedly banned and humiliated on the forum? Please be honest with me and don't think you are hurting my feelings and pride by telling me the truth coz I have none.
Hariri promised president Aoun that he won't be corrupt anymore and asked for forgiveness. President Aoun promised to donate the proceeds from his blockbuster book " the Impossible Vindication" to charity.
Happy Ending indeed.
Well why would they nominated this coward man ? He surrendered already on everything so he has nothing to offer to the real masters.
did anybody notice how flamethrower and I appeared at the same time yesterday after a very long absence in exile. I hope people don't think we are the same poster.
I am the_roar: I am a regular poster on naharnet. I have 60 fake accounts and I live on this forum 24/7. I make fake accounts and insult people when I have no argument or debate. I am a Shia who pretends not to speak Arabic and claims to live in Australia. I know every street in Lebanon and every MP's name despite my claim that I am 3rd generation Australian and having never been to Lebanon. I tell people I have not posted for the last 6 months to give them the impression I have a life. I lie and lie and lie and think people believe me.
Hariri only smeared the so called resistance for a maximum of 11 years give or take so obviously he's a saudi stooge. Aoun smeared the so called resistance for more than 15 years and he was called a zionist jew stooge. Then after he became a hezballah tool, as al Ra2i called him when he was still bishop of jbeil, he is no longer a zionist jewish stooge. It's ironic how the self confessed iranian stooges, tools are the ones deciding who's the stooge.
Hariri will be PM... deal has been done. All he needs is 64 MPs.
Good luck Lebanon. Hopefully the government can actually be productive. Electricity, waste, water, security, gas drilling in med sea and new fair electoral law should be the agenda! Please let there be a cabinet that works towards this in an agreed policy!
Ado none of those things you listed are important, the only important thing is the culture of the resistance.
This time with President Aoun, hopefully that sort of absolute corruption will be a thing of the past... we still have Berri and jumblatt to convince. Maybe the 1st act of the new cabinet is the establishment of an anti corruption watchdog that gives forgiveness and amnesty to past wrongs, so long as all future actions are under their jurisdiction. Hopefully that will be enough for it to pass as law!
Seriously, there are trolls and there are trolls. You are special. The Ministry of Electricity and Power has been in the hands of the FPM block and/or the shias for the last 25 years.
lubnani.masi71... in the hands of Berri's Amal. Not the FPM. The FPM have been in government since 2009. Its not about sectarian corruption but all corruption and its telling that Berri is so against Aoun. This M8/M14 rubbish should be over. It should be about the style of governance! Working for the people or earning from the people.
Sorry ado.australia, i did not know that it was Berri and AMAL and not Bassil of the FPM who promised us 24/7 power, asked for 1.2 billion usd for power generation, and brought the Turkish ships that are polluting the environment. My bad.....
True Basil took over in the last 5 years (with most of those years have been useless caretaker governments) and attempted to reduce the power shortage by hiring turkish floating power generators that have reduced the power shortage... did he also anticipate an extra 1.5 million refugees living in lebanon? Imagine what would be the daily power outage if didn't act? Action is what we need. W by cant we agree to drill the gas and oil in the med sea? Are we waiting for Israel to drain the whole basin first? Or are we waiting to agree politician payments? There is no border in an underwater gas basin! Israel has been pumping for the past 5 years while our "politicians" argue their commissions!
In 1996 electricity was almost at 24/7 until Israel blew up the bsalim power generating station then in 1999 the joumhour power station. It was in retaliation for a Hezbollah katiousha barrage into northern Israel. The katiousha barrage coincided with Michel aoun's tv interview so next morning newspapers had the Hezbollah/Israel bombings as headlines rather that what amounts said. This was not the last time this was done.
ado dont forget basil was hampered in each step of the way by the sniveling slime out of spite. the floating generators were just meant to be temporary while the plants and the whole network were overhauled, but they never let him do it.

bassil was hampered in each step;))))) where was he hampered ya irani? in the hezbollah-aoun government that had no opposition?
LOL
Hey mowaten…you are one man army...in this site so many personnels against you and you never backdown you tweet them back like a birdie...I salute your shia spirit..
what are you talking about half-wit? since when are miqati or salam hezbollah or fpm? do you even have a clue who were the finance ministers during these periods? i suggest you do your research about cabinet decision-making and budgeting processes before you make a fool out of yourself.
and here's the other genius, compensating his lack of intelligence and knowledge with his endless imagination.
the budget for renovating the power plants and the electrical network and the transformers was way more than 1.2Bn$ and were never released, any fool can google that and see how boringly irrelevant you systematically are anonyme.
now go ahead and rant for 10 pages, maybe i'll read it some day.
Which Country are you a mowaten of? Iran, Iraq, Syria or Yemen?.... Certainly not Lebanon, oh No!
that's why the existing pro fpm electricity minister said" give me an extra 1 billion usd and i will give you 24/7 electricity" :)!
They never named him ... ever, not even after Doha. The truth is Hezbollah have some sort of a religious fatwa against voting for Hariri. Even after the quartet alliance in 2005, Hezbollah's votes to Hariri were minimal.
What do you do when you live with a bunch of people who have no problem in scorching and razing the country to the ground? You can never play their game, because that is dangerous. And if you don't you are branded as weak. I think Hariri played the best card possible considering the circumstances. Now begins the hard work. When was it ever easy for him or his father?
It shouldn't be about tripoli but all Lebanon... The problem people had with Hariri was that most of his concerns focused on his construction investments in downtown Beirut. How much money his construction companies made in Solidere company? This is the problem and I will for once give Saad Hariri a chance to prove that perception wrong... If he care less about profit of his companies and more about the building of the Lebanese republic then he could become a heroic Lebanese patriot! I know its a big naive hope but you never know... Lets be hopefull and give him a chance. If he has made this deal with Aoun for his personal business opurtunities then God help all Lebanese!
I await the day when I will read ONE meaningful post, ONE counter argument, ONE credible or mature info from you, flamethrower..... , but alas!
Hizbullah Won't Name Hariri for Premiership
but the iranian terrorists will destroy the country if they are not represented in the Hariri led government.
i doubt marcus ever visited lebanon at all. at most maybe his dad spent a few months here in 1982
it is funny how everyone attacks hariri and says he works for the saudis, when no one mentions the iranians and their proxy terrorist militia.
if the shias do it, its done in the name of the resistance and iran and thats great, but if the sunnis do anything then it is forbidden. that sense of entitlement they have (shias and iranians) gotta go soon cuz it wont last.
lets liberate palestine, syria, katmandu, australia, haiti, hawaii, and any other territory the terrorist militia can use as an excuse to exist. your days are over. seriously, forget hariri, they are just over.
hezbollah needs no excuse to exist, and certainly not the blessing of sectarian spiteful losers like you. and yes, you have good reason to worry about the liberation of palestine, you can feel it coming, cant you? start packing shlomo, start packing.
@.mowaten. MF ( My Friend )
Don't stoop to their sectarian level. Stay above cheap talk. The cream always surfaces to the top. Your posts speak for themselves and attest to who you are. I've known you for a long time on this forum; we shared the good times and the bad times. Stay true to your secular beliefs.
the shias can be really well represented by amal or any other party that doesnt have to depend on a militant organization to act as a terrorist entity to ensure that they are always on top of everything. make a new party, erase the terrorists and see how everyone will accept you.
exactly and they feed on this, apart from the fact that they are not wired as an official out in the public party, they started as a rogue militia in the woods, and have no need or interest in becoming a progressive entity for the sake of Lebanons well-being. They came to exist because of war, and this is all they can function for or know.
what do you know of lebanon's well-being you zionist stooge? every comment you made in the few minutes since your account was created reek of cheap hasbara. are you the new intern?
totally, you guys, see how he divides, before ebola came to exist, lebanese were less divisive, at least sunnis and shias, but this terrorist happened and bam, now its all about ur religion, sect, region, etc. ts ts tsssss but all bad things come to an end.
and the troll of the day prize goes to :
flamethrower 12 posts so far
mowaten 15 posts so far
and in first place the dynamic duo
libanobrasil/libanaisresilient 19 posts so far!
is it being right to have an armed militia that does not answer the lebanese army commander but tehran?
is it being right to wage wars without refering the gvt and taking lebanon hostage of their madness?
is it being right to go against the baabda declaration that they signed but still went to syria despite their "promise"?
is it being right to take to the streets when they disagree with lebanese laws?
is it being right to shut down the parliament for two years?
that is the problem: your definition of right is not the common definition but hezbollah's definition of what is right for them or not but certainly not for lebanon.
