Journalist and political writer Ali Hamadeh saw that “President Nabih Berri’s appointment of a general legislative session next week without specifying a future session to elect a president carries a political meaning aimed at confirming that the vacuum will last.”

In an interview via “Spot Shot” within the Point of View program, Hamada said: “Smuggling the quorum indicates fear of the possibility of a coup in the votes and the election of a president in subsequent sessions, and it does not mean at all a victory for the axis of opposition and the downfall of the opposition candidate, despite the surplus power enjoyed by the two Shiite at all levels, he was unable to obtain more than 51 votes for his candidate, the head of the Marada Movement, Suleiman Franjieh.

He added, “Those who abstained from voting for the former minister, Jihad Azour, may be some of the deputies of the current rebelling against Representative Gebran Bassil, or some of the gray Sunnis from the National Moderation bloc or even from the changeists, and each has its own reasons.”

He stressed that “both parties have the ability to prevent and obstruct, that is, to prevent the arrival of the candidate of the other party and disrupt the election session, and this means that the crisis will last for a few months to come without reaching a solution, unless a settlement occurs that convinces the two parties to go to a third candidate that satisfies them, and it may be the army commander, General Joseph.” Aoun, as his name is always on the table.

Hamadeh pointed out that “the settlement may take place with a modified French initiative in terms of method and the real approach to the Christian situation.

He emphasized that “what is required is prudence between the two parties, and if Hezbollah knows that no one can outpace it in Lebanon, it must also know that it cannot control everyone in the country.”

Hamadeh concluded by noting that “attention is directed today to the summit meeting in France between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and French President Emmanuel Macron, where the Lebanese file will be on the table, and both Ambassador Walid Al-Bukhari and Minister Nizar Al-Aloula are in France and will enter into details with the Special Envoy to Lebanon, former minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, so that the latter will go to Beirut in an effort for a new initiative.
