BEIRUT –\u00a0 The stance of those who have deliberately thwarted Hezbollah\u2019s political victory in the presidential race and who openly declare their absolute loyalty to Washington is not shocking. What is shocking, however, is the stance of Hezbollah\u2019s so-called allies, who have shamefully submitted to the higher foreign orders.<\/p>\n
This same team has expressed its concern about the anti-Hezbollah team’s relentless attempt to drag Lebanon into a \u201ccivil conflict\u201d. Hence, they have communicated with the Shiite duo in a bid to reach an understanding on forming a national cabinet capable of running Lebanon until the parliamentary elections scheduled for May 2026.<\/p>\n
They further warned Judge Nawaf Salam, the prime minister-designate, to avoid \u201cbeing manipulated as a tool of confronting the Shiites or the resistance (movement), and to take the initiative to expand the circle of trust in his upcoming government.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Saudi-American orders have dictated the renunciation of the \u201cJanuary 9 National Understanding\u201d that secured the election of Gen. Joseph Aoun as president after pledging not to violate political balances.<\/p>\n
Verified sources confirmed that Walid Bukhari, the Saudi ambassador to Beirut, met Fouad Makhzoumi (the founder of the\u00a0National Dialogue Party\u00a0and a member of the\u00a0Renewal Bloc\u00a0in the\u00a0Lebanese Parliament) ordering him to withdraw from his candidacy. The meeting made it clear that the nomination of MPs Makhzoumi and Ashraf Rifi was nothing but a poor play.<\/p>\n
President Aoun has been reportedly quoted as saying: \u201cI found myself before an international and Arab opportunity to carry out a major rescue operation. The understanding was a way to facilitate matters. As for now, I do not know how things will go.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I will do my best with the prime minister-designate so that the government is not formed in a way that threatens the stability of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe regret those who want to spoil the consensual beginning of the presidential term. It is our right to demand a \u2018constitutional government\u2019. We will monitor the steps. We are waiting \u2013 with all wisdom \u2013 and we will see their efforts to \u2018expel Israel and return the prisoners\u2019,\u201d said Mohammad Raad, the chief of Hezbollah\u2019s parliamentary bloc. Raad intended to reassure the people, amidst the growing threats, that any \u201crebellion\u201d will be met with unexpected retribution that will hinder the reconstruction of what was destroyed by the US-backed Israeli aggression.<\/p>\n
Undeniably, Lebanon\u2019s political dilemma has reached a dangerous peak. The selection of Judge Nawaf Salam to form the upcoming cabinet was nothing but a deception that the Hezbollah and Amal Movement duo were subjected to, especially since the anti-Hezbollah team wanted this entitlement as a political gain for Washington after its aggression failed to eliminate the resistance movement.<\/p>\n
Seemingly, this team will not stop at excluding the legitimate representatives of the Shiites from the cabinet. It will take revenge on the very existence of the Shiites in the country, simply because of their anti-imperialism stance.<\/p>\n
