Nasrallah Urges 'Partnership Govt.' Comprising Everyone, including FPM
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday called for the formation of what he called a “national partnership government” comprising all parties, including the Free Patriotic Movement, as he noted that the formation process will not be “easy.”
He also said that such a government should be led by Saad Hariri or a figure enjoying his support.
“The consultations are supposed to take place Monday and we hope a PM-designate will be named,” Nasrallah said in a televised address.
“So far, no agreement has been reached on any candidate… We hope that the figure who gets the necessary votes will be designated on Monday,” he added.
“After the designation of a premier, we will talk about the line-up and we would negotiate and cooperate with the PM-designate to form the government,” he said.
Nasrallah however pointed out that the formation of a new government will not be an “easy” process.
“We insist on the FPM's representation in the government and no party should be eliminated,” Nasrallah added, a day after FPM chief Jebran Bassil announced that his movement will not take part in any so-called techno-political government led by Hariri.
“Hariri must ease his preconditions if a national partnership government is to be formed,” Nasrallah said.
Noting that the 1943 National Pact forbids the formation of a “one-sided government,” the Hizbullah leader said “any government needs domestic stability in order to be able to address the economic situation.”
“A one-sided government might face several accusations and road-blocking protests… Any salvation government will have to take unpopular decisions,” Nasrallah said.
Noting that the International Support Group for Lebanon -- which convened in Paris Wednesday – has called for the formation of a “reformist government,” Nasrallah suggested that such a government “does not necessarily stand for a technocrat government.”
“The caretaker government must shoulder its responsibilities regarding the economic situation,” he said.
Hariri has insisted that he will only lead a technocrat government, telling the other parties that he is not opposed to the nomination of another figure for the PM post.
A leading candidate for the post – Samir Khatib – was however told on Dec. 1 by the country’s grand mufti, Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan, that were was Sunni “consensus” on the nomination of Hariri, which prompted Khatib to withdraw his nomination.
Hariri resigned on October 29, bowing to pressure from unprecedented and cross-sectarian street protests demanding an end to corruption and an overhaul of the entire political system.
The protest movement has repeatedly called for the formation of an independent technocrat cabinet.

Great picture, he looks like an unwashed shia terrorist (Huthi), and that's closer to his true character than the religious uniform he dishonored and desecrated for decades.
As to his speech: nice cartload of BS.

نصرالله: البعض يتصور أنه إذا اعتدي على إيران، إيران ستعتمد على حلفائها وأصدقائها لترد، وانا اصحح هذا الكلام: إذا اعتدي على إيران، إيران والجمهورية الإسلامية في إيران تردّ بنفسها على الإسرائيليين أو الاميركيين۔
Nasrallah to U.S. and Israel: Iran itself will respond to those who attack it and it will not depend on its allies.
But on 10 September 2019, the terrorist said otherwise!
Nasrallah: Hizbullah Won't be Neutral if Iran Attacked
“We reiterate our stance as part of the axis of resistance: we will not be neutral in the battle between right and wrong, in the battle between Hussein and Yazid. This supposed war will be the end of Israel and the American hegemony and presence in the region,” Nasrallah said.
“Our imam, leader, master and Hussein in this era is Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei. He is the leader of the axis of resistance and Iran is the heart and main center of the axis,” he went on to say.

And yet M8 did it with Mikati. Seriously, people are protesting against sectarian politics and you want to go right back to it. It shouldn't matter what sect these guys are--the best people for the job, not the right religion for a post.

During almost two months of demonstrations, in Lebanon, in Iraq and elsewhere, we heard the smelly holly supreme Persian ape and various other Iranian apes making disparaging, disrespectful and derogatory comments about them. Yet this turbaned chimp and chimps like him repeated, supported and even applauded these comments. Unsurprising coming from a bunch of salaried Iranian domestics. Less surprising was sending their gorillas peppered with a few orangutans to beat up on the peaceful demonstrators. Then a few days ago the Americans expressed their support for the demonstrators and hassan, the aforementioned turbaned chimp, blows his turban clear off. "How dares they interfere in internal Lebanese affairs". Seriously hassan, how stupid do you think your supporters are to swallow such bull. That was rhetorical. I know how stupid they are and still they keep surprising me with their striving to achieve an even higher level of stupidity. Aim high and keep striving.
