Report: Hizbullah Seeking to Change National Pact in 2012
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةHizbullah is seeking to introduce a new national pact in Lebanon given the various regional developments that have taken place in 2011, reported Akhbar al-Yawm news agency on Friday.
An informed source told the news agency that the party does not believe that the Taif accord “is holy and should not be altered.”
It instead believes that it can be amended or developed seeing as over 20 years have passed since the accord was signed in 1989.
Hizbullah officials are preparing a work document on which they will base the demand to introduce a new national pact, revealed the sources.
Lebanon’s National Pact, devised in 1943, is an unwritten agreement that set the basis for the political system in the country, which is based on sectarian distribution of power.
The ideas of the National Pact provided the basis of the Taif accord that stipulated, among other matters, that the president of Lebanon would be a Maronite, the speaker of parliament a Shiite, and the prime minister a Sunni.
Since I know the administrator isn't going to approve my comments, as usual, because they don't conform to your narrow views I hope you realize that the great majority of EDUCATED people despise cheap media, regardless of whatever side it comes from. You are not doing Lebanon a service by publishing bs articles.
Hizballa is playing with fire and doesn't have Lebanon's interest at heart. Hizb will ignite a civil war in Lebanon to protect Syria & Iran. Ya party of god fear god and let us live in peace.
Why is Hezballah against Taef , I'll let SHN explain : " The problem with the Taif is that it enshrines the Maronite sectarian system .. The alternative to the Taif accord is the resistance . " there you have it , Taef gives the our brothers the Maronites more powers than they deserve according the the his magnificent éminence the resisting saint of all saints SHN .

not that it matters, but Taif does not spell out the confessional identity of the prez, pm and speaker.
i wonder what Aoun has to say about this . well may be he will agree if they make him a president
What percent of the Lebanese population is Christian? You don't know? Let's do a census and find out!
chrisrushlau
What percent of the Syrian population is Sunni? Why don't you support them? Are you a Hypocrite? You don't know? The census says that you are a hypocrite,

@mouwaten, u are probably right about what u said, however for ur info, zoroastrians are a minority which is not very well treated in iran. so hezbollah is not really a zoroastrian party, but a farsi chi3a party.
@barbie. what a fresh picture... i will fight them with you
@peace. u are probably right. but i hope u are wrong.
@chrishlau. u are right, christians breed less and are less in numbers than they used to be. But u sound like u hate the fact that christians lebanese have more say in lebanon than their proportion. Why does that bother you? A lot of countries do positive discrimination. french canadians, blacks in the US etc... it is a sign of culture to allow the weakest members of a society more say. Christians are not doing it by force. Most moslem lebanese are happy having christians with them in lebanon. why are u so bothered by this fact?
You people are very strong and powerful. Each and every one of you wants to "buy a gun & Deal with them & on and on" You can't do S....., they have already taken over the entire country (Thanks to the honorable Mr. Aoun). Go fight them don't wait.
If extremists like Hezbollah did not exist we would never need a National Pact.
Democracy is not based only on a majority number in elections but mostly on a constitution based on secualr laws that protect individual freedoms and respect the basic human rights.
Once we have this type of constitution then who ever is elected has to abide by its rules and will not be able to turn the country into an ideologically governed sectarian theocracy!
The Hezz are taking the whole country. They must be stopped and destroyed. No Inanian mini state in Lebanon.
First ASSad must be eliminated as soon as possible. They the Hezz must be dealt with after their ass is cut off from re-supply.
The time has come to form an anti-Hezz militia. The Hezz are not a resistance, but a mafia designed to steal all of Lebanon. The Hezz are very close to pushing the rest of the country to form a militia against them.
moearaff, if so then what does that say about you? if we shia are so worst then why did we manage to take all of lebanon around our little finger? Shias are the single largest sect in lebanon. Like it or not, we are here to stay so you keep barking, meanwhile we will expand, if you dont like it then start behaving, be cause if you fight shias, you will loose badly and end up with nothing left.
Finally..
The masks have fallen and we are witnessing Hizballah's true agenda, The creation of the Islamic Republic of Lebanon, a sovereign state.
Hizballah have all the required ingredients: control of the Government, the Parliament, a large population and the needed military might to enforce such an agenda. Hence, the president of Lebanon will be a Shiite Imam, the speaker of parliament a Shiite Imam and the prime minister a Shiite Imam, all wearing Black Turbans.
If I may make a prediction; one of the above will be named Hassan...
Hallelujah...
moeraff
dont lie!!! In Australia the shia predominantly live on their own in an enclave, working hard and abiding by the law,The area they live is more thaN DOUBLE (Are you jealous!!!) the price area than where all the Christians,Sunnis live in the south/west where they go around shooting each other and rapeing each others brothers,sisters. Stop talking crap!! shia areas are safer and shia's will never step 1 foot in the filthy South/west that disgraces the image of Lebanese infront of Australians.
why write another pact?... they should first apply the taef agreement in which is stipulated the end of sectarian rules and moving toward secularism!
the filthy zionist information has done it again: read the unconfirmed report from naharnet to construct the pyramid of lies.
if hezb'allah is preparing a proposition for a new national pact (again, if), first we need to see it. the debate will include everyone and will be done by consensus, like always in lebanon.
until we see if and what kind of proposal is this everything the zionist information war department is pure halucination. like always.
I think we need a new census cause I'm sick and tired of reading the Christians in Lebanon are 25% or less. I think the real figure is closer to 40%, if not more.
jabal tell us : how many sionist are there in lebanon as you seem well informed? half of it? aren t you scared to be surrounded by them? brrrr!
Happy new year everyone,I hope Lebanon and the Lebanese have peaceful year and learn from our mistakes
من كان منكم بلا خطيئة فليرجمها بحجر!!

@ chrisrushlau... I'm not sure if you are aware what the concept of Lebanese "citizenship" is.. or the fact that the Lebanese cannot vote outside of Lebanon. It's as if the moment a Lebanese leaves the country whether to the Gulf or Africa to work or for any other reason they automatically lose their citizenship... I'm not talking about Christians in particular... But the Lebanese in general. Let's do a census and see how many Lebanese passport holders live outside of Lebanon.. Do you think it's time to end the sectarianism? You have 2 sectarian militant groups in Lebanon. 1 - HA and 2 - certain factions within the Palestinians camps.. figure that out first...
I am not sure if they will ever run out of ideas: Invading Beirut, taking over electrical power stations, Imposing oppinions or else... while waving their fingers, Laundering money and selling drugs, and now trying to change the foundation of Lebanon
Hezb-iran w Syria ... Definitely not Hezb Allah ... God doesn't want thugs ... Ya ret kein Hezb-lebneneh mush irani w suri
you wonder if they will ever run of ideas: Invading Beirut, Taking over elctrical power stations, imposing their opinion or else... while waving the finger, Laundering money and selling drugs, and now this
some thug from amal posted above the following: "the debate will include everyone and will be done by consensus, like always in lebanon."
I just have to laugh! No Further Comments.............
Hizb of deceit is planning to take over the whole country once the killer regime in Syria falls. They and their lunatic ex-soldier ally want to change the constitution and share power. The shia want 1/3 and the rest of the sects 2/3.
Hezbollah, as a militia, will cease to exist within 8 to 12 months. If they want, they survive as a political and humanitarian/social entity, however, once Bashar is gone, and then Iran gets bombed from here to kingdom come, they will have no choice but to humbly hand over there weapons to the Lebanese Army, and that's it...it will happen, as it's their destiny. They will not survive, any other way.
Hey guys
Don't worry!! The turbaned dudes will not change anything. They simply won't have the time and resources as they will be licking their wounds and finding their people under their destroyed homes. It is no secret that soon Israel alone or with the allies will wipe out Hizbullah. So just be patient as we will rewrite new rules and laws aimed precisely to shut them up forever.
Let's start with the following changes just to demonstrate SOME openess. Feel free to propose alternative solutions at the high level. You may even say no religion at all should be associated with the post & therefore anybody can apply for the posts.
Presidency=Christian (Eg, catholic, orthodox, maronite, protestant, etc)
Prime Minister=Muslem (eg. Sunni, shiite, druze, alawi, ahmadiye, etc)
Speaker=anyone from the rulling government.
everybody stay calm. The hizballah gang will be negotiating from a position of weakness. Not to mention that Millions of lebanese at home and abroad will never let that happen. Hizballah, go pound sand in the Iranian desert.
Tomorrow we won't hear of this news no more, and was merely a smear campaign against Hezbollah.
You get immune after a while to such news, others fall for it.
@ lebaneso_amal, "you have lebanon around your little finger" , just the fact that you say that proudly makes me sick.... you arragont idiot!! you have what you have due to the use of force, aggression and weapons... tell me where we would be if every side did the same as you... the only reason there still is a Lebanon to speak of , is because the rest of the Lebanese are for now being patient and waiting for you to come to your senses.
the filthy zionist inforation war department wanted to say something but they said nothing like always.
also, one of them asked me something, still not realizing that i don't talk to worms, snakes and them.
Hezbollah can do nothing, acting alone, to change the governing formula in Lebanon. Hezbollah needs a domestic partner. Without the FPM alliance, Hezbollah can talk about changing Lebanon only by force of arms, not by a political process.
That Lebanon is jeopardized by the presence of Hezbollah is now the fault of not only Michel Aoun, but of the Christian Aounists who blindly follow this crazy man under the dilugional belief that though he seems crazy, we must still follow him because "maybe he knows something that we don't know". And where would we, the Aounists go if we leav Aoun? These people need a sheep herder not a political leader who is accountable back to them.
So Lebanese, do not cast your anger at Hezbollah, only, but to its enabler as well, Aoun, Aounists and the FPM
i have to react here and i have to react against also against people who are on my political side.
1. but first to the zionist information war department:
you have blundered again. under the nickname of yousefhadad, you showed that you have no idea what nation pact is. and every lebanese know what national pact is. therefore you are not lebanese, you have proven that you are filthy zionist nerd like i always knew you are. you and your colleagues in mossad are so retarded that you still haven't learned how to pretend to be lebanese. and you never will.
2. sweating demon: what do you mean by christians becoming 5-10% of lebanese population? you plan some kind of genocide? or you plan to populate lebanon up to 10-15 million people? don't say things like that, that is hate speech
3. to lebaneso amal. while i'm not religious man, i do belong to southern mostly shia tribe but i would never say that "we have all of lebanon around our little finger". this is descending to a pre civil war phalange mentality and you don't speak in shia's name.
demon...instead of looking at "trends" look at the present situation and how to improve relations between people.
not with those retards that constantly repeat old retarded insult. like deodorant
It is the wish of Hezbollah to one day establish an Islamic Republic in Lebanon because we believe that the establishment of an Islamic government is the only way to achieve stability in society, and it is the only way to resolve social differences, even in a society consisting of diverse minorities - Hassan Nasrallah August 2006
Nasrallah's dream could never happen under Taef with it's intrenched 50-50 Christians-Muslims formula.
