Al-Mustaqbal Lays Cabinet Delay Blame on Hizbullah but Says Ball in Court of Suleiman, Salam
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal bloc MPs discussed with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Wednesday ways to speed up the formation of a new government and launch national dialogue to resolve controversial issues, the head of the bloc, MP Fouad Saniora, said.
“The ball is in the court of the president and PM-designate to find ways to form a cabinet that would be based on either their proposal or would be made up of non-political figures,” Saniora said in Bkirki after holding talks with al-Rahi at the head of an al-Mustaqbal delegation.
President Michel Suleiman and Premier-designate Tammam Salam have supported the formation of a 24-member cabinet in which the country's three major political camps – March 8, March 14 and centrists – would get eight ministers each.
But Saniora accused Hizbullah of obstructing the formation of such a cabinet despite reports that March 14 and mainly al-Mustaqbal had lifted their condition not to give the party's members any seats in the new cabinet over the participation of Hizbullah fighters in Syria's civil war.
He said the delegation's talks with al-Rahi focused on “the need to form a cabinet that protects the Lebanese.”
“We hope that the PM-designate would speed up the formation of the government to confront the major part of problems facing the country,” he said.
“Our meeting with al-Rahi was an opportunity to discuss several issues and mainly the challenges in the Arab region,” Saniora told reporters.
The lawmaker also called for the resumption of national dialogue under Suleiman at Baabda palace to resolve the country's controversial issues.

This is another good reason to have technocrats. The above-mentionned leaders are ALL on a foreign payroll and influence. By now, you should know there are no charismatic leaders today each one of them failed their electors and Lebanon. And when one of them, cleaner or irreproachable arises, your friends blow him up in downtown Beirut. The same applies to a full oh hope Pierre G taken down down again by your friends. The powder keg will always remain a powder keg, we've tried democracy, sectarism, it didn't work. Now let's try technocracy..... And is is what Aoun and Hezb for most.... Because if proven successful, your employer would become USELESS!!!!
Btw, you made me laugh with your previous message about watching my back. That's why I don't take the underground nor buses or tramways.... They're packed with opportunists who empty pockets. 2 weeks ago, I had my car door lock picked.... Sure there's criminality in every European capital, but it safer than beirut.

Écoute coco, I know many mustaqbal leaders personally. I can assure you they work really hard for a better Lebanon. But of courses, Hezbollah's weapons can silence anyone as they did on several occasions. By your already knew this.

the way you talk is shameful benzona, you make assumptions and empty accusations and present them as facts. no, not a sane person believes HA has anything to do with hariri or pierre's assassinations. this is partisan propaganda talk. in the first case it mainly profited israel by creating a starting point for shia/sunni strife. in the second case it's geagea who was glad to get rid of a future potential competitor. (and come on, who else could shoot him at gunpoint in the middle of jdaydeh and get away with it? not to mention the car used by the killers that was found to belong to a member of LF, but they said it had been "imitated" ... seriously?!?)

repeating day in day out those accusations is shameful because you know they're not realistic but you still say them because it suits your agenda.

Look at the modus operandi of the 2 buenos aires attacks and the one on Hariri. You can tell its the same hand. The empty accusations? They aren't from me, they're from the Hague. Why wouldn't Hezbollah ship the 4+1 men accused and hire the BEST lawyers in the world to defend them? Man, stop bringing up partisan propaganda. I'm not a paid propagandist, I don't work for any Lebanese faction (nor Israeli for the khafif headed). Is Samaha Israeli paid? So must be mamlouk.... They were coming from Tel Aviv of course loaded with TNT. Walaw! The fact is here, your employer's (Aoun) employer (Bachar) is the one behind Lebanon's misery. The same applies to Hezbollah who refuses being judged by an international court.

because the trial is rigged, and the court is not recognized by HA. if you start giving men up just because the white man decided so, then you might as well send all HA fighters in slave ships.

nothing to do with the fact that Mustaqbul party refuses to join the cabinet if hezbollah is involved! if "reports" claim that this is no longer a mustaqbul condition than they should publicly say so.
please stop treating us like fish.

sadly it works on some people, look at benzona saying he personally knows mustaqbal leaders and they "work really hard for a better Lebanon". funny that with all that hard work they never achieved anything but inciting strife while filling their pockets.

The best post civil war years of Lebanon were when Rafic Hariri was around.... And we saw how our economy is thriving since the M8-only government was formed.... Look at the beautiful results.

Do you have proof? Do you have proof yourself? Or do you just enjoy repeating what the sickest psychopath person in Lebanon (Aoun) keeps saying?
Show me our proof, submit them to naharnet. They'll gladly publish them if they are verifiable.
