Hizbullah and Syria Support Formation of Government ‘from Pre-Arab Revolution Era’
Lebanon may be faced with a number of challenges in the government formation process given the unrest in Syria, reported the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper.
Widely informed sources said that Hizbullah and Syrian want the formation of a government that belongs to the pre-Arab revolts era, which is being faced with opposition in some sides in Lebanon.
This explains the ongoing delay in the Cabinet formation, they stressed.
Furthermore, the unrest in Syria is easing the pressure on the Lebanese sides regarding the formation process.
They added however that Hizbullah would be the main beneficiary from the formation of the government, which is why it is approaching this issue with caution
The party is adopting a more pragmatic approach on the internal scene, which refutes claims that it is heading towards forming a one-sided Cabinet, the sources continued.
“It knows that assuming complete control in Lebanon would give Israel an excuse to launch a destructive war against the party and Lebanon,” they stressed.
Hizbullah is already beginning to feel that burden of the rampant chaos in the country, they said in reference to the construction violations on public property in the South and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
In addition, the party’s cautious approach is also linked to the international community’s scrutiny of Lebanon should any violations against the Special Tribunal for Lebanon be made.
