Report: Aoun threatens to put Mar Mikhail Agreement in 'trash bin'
Former president and Free Patriotic Movement founder Michel Aoun has reportedly threatened to “tear up the Mar Mikhail Agreement” with Hezbollah and “throw it in the trash bin.”
According to the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper, Aoun voiced his remarks during a recent meeting with FPM youths.
“If Hezbollah continues to violate the constitution and isolate a main component, I will personally and publicly tear up the Mar Mikhail Agreement and throw it in the trash bin,” one of those who took part in the meeting quoted Aoun as saying.
Hezbollah’s decision to take part in a controversial caretaker cabinet session has sent tensions soaring between the two allies.
The FPM has repeatedly warned against holding caretaker cabinet sesions amid the ongoing presidential vacuum, describing that as an attack on the Christian president’s powers.
Hezbollah has meanwhile announced that it is ready to take part in another caretaker cabinet session should its agenda be limited to the electricity file.
