Good morning from An-Nahar,

Here are five highlights from today, Friday, May 26, 2023:

1- The opposition and the “mainstream” are close to declaring a “candidate”? Nasrallah is “optimistic” about the presidency and renews the call for “discussion”

Despite the apparent stalemate that characterized the domestic political scene, in which signs of “hitting in the sand” or “insight” are growing regarding the hypothetical date of mid-June as a watershed in the course of the presidential crisis, it seems that the next few days may actually be on the verge of a renewed important movement in the course of Seeking to crystallize an understanding on a candidate who enjoys the support of the opposition forces and the Free Patriotic Movement. This is because data became available to “An-Nahar” indicating that communication and consultation resumed with momentum between the “Free Patriotic Movement” and the “Lebanese Forces” and the Phalanges, followed by deputies from the three forces. A candidate who gathered on it is likely to be Jihad Azour in particular. These data contradict what MP Alain Aoun had previously announced repeatedly by turning the page on Azour’s candidacy, as behind that a state of discrimination emerged within the “Free Patriotic Movement” that some deputies are taking over, contrary to the directions of the head of the movement, Representative Gebran Bassil, but the opposition forces and the movement reached an imminent understanding that will have a strong impact. And effective unless sudden developments occur again that freeze, delay or impede this development.


Mrs. Ragia Al-Akoum was killed by her ex-husband, Ali Al-Akoum, who was run over in the town of Bsaba – Iqlim Al-Kharoub. The horrific crime took place in broad daylight, about five days after their divorce, following marital disputes, according to local sources in the town.

We chose for you from “An-Nahar” articles for today:

Dawood Rammal wrote: The Crisis of “Hezbollah” and the “Free Patriotic Movement”: From the Organizational Problem to the Requirements of Reconciliation

There are many mistakes in Lebanon that lead to crises, and the biggest mistakes are the inability to correct analysis, the loss of human interaction, and many things can be avoided with good intentions and calmness in dealing. The difference or disagreement of “Hezbollah” and the “Free Patriotic Movement” is over matters of priority and how to set priorities, and the dispute emerged clearly from the incident of Kabarshmoun Al-Basateen as a model, as the party’s opinion is known that the priority is not to establish attendance in the mountain, up to the issue of the service council exams Civilians and those who passed the exams, turning it into an issue and opening the Taif file regarding it, this the party considers a big step back.

And Jad Fayyad wrote: Walid Jumblatt steps down from the presidency of the “Progressive Party”, not political action… To whom will the leadership of the party devolve?

The head of the “Progressive Socialist” Party, Walid Jumblatt, took the decision to resign from the leadership of the party, in a step inseparable from the policy he started in 2017, when his son, Timur Jumblatt, handed over the Jumblatt Druze leadership, and continued it in 2018 with his stepping down from parliamentary work and the candidacy of his son. For the elections and the presidency of the “Democratic Gathering”, he continued with the same approach while giving him more space to make political decisions related to the presidential file and others.

Close sources and followers of the partisan affairs go back to Walid Jumblatt’s recent statements, during which he focused on the future leadership of Timur Jumblatt, and see the decision to resign as an indication that Jumblatt the father wants to assign more tasks to his son Timur, after he had shared roles with him in recent years. He assigned him the parliamentary work and he himself continued the party work, and they shared the political work. The step also indicates that Jumblatt “wants to rest.”

Carla Samaha wrote: “People with disabilities” are victims of political corruption… and the road to “hope” is long and arduous!

The great economic crisis that #Lebanon is suffering from has primarily affected #people with disabilities, so their situation has remained very “unhappy” for years, due to the absence of any budget of their own, that could force the relevant ministries to put them among the priorities of their projects; Therefore, these people became the most marginalized and excluded social groups, and they faced great challenges in obtaining their minimum rights.

A small “glimmer of hope” launched by the Ministry of Social Affairs a short time ago in partnership with the European Union, UNICEF and the International Labor Organization. It is called the “Cash Allowance Program for Persons with Disabilities”. OMT for at least 12 months. In its first phase, this program will target young men and women with disabilities, between the ages of 18 and 28 (born 1995-2005), to support them in moving to higher education or joining the labor market.
