Hariri Speech to Reveal Stance on Govt., Berri Backs His Return
Ex-PM Saad Hariri’s speech after the issuance of verdicts in Rafik Hariri’s assassination case on Tuesday is expected to reveal his stance on the latest developments and the issue of the formation of a new government, media reports said.
Hariri, who will travel to The Hague Monday along with a delegation to attend the verdict announcement session, will voice “a very important and critical stance,” Annahar newspaper reported Monday.
“The attention will be focused on ex-PM Saad Hariri’s stance as to the developments related to the formation of a new government and the designation of a new premier,” the daily said.
Asharq al-Awsat newspaper meanwhile reported that Speaker Nabih Berri had voiced support for Hariri’s return as premier during his talks with U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
“Zarif was perhaps surprised by the endorsement,” the daily added.

Vicious circle: they are elected , situation gets worse, they resign, others are elected, they fail, then we call them again, and they fail again and again...and the population gets poorer and poorer. Same names, same crimes.

There must be a back door deal made on the Hariri trail, basically Harir JR will forgive Hezballah for killing his father and he will get the Primer-ship and the Lebanese get screwed yet again

What is wrong with the ruling elite (what a false name should be incompitents)are they blind, have they no honour or common sense, are they ALL puppets of other countrie? When will they realise that it's time to come off the money train and give the long suffering people of Lebanon a break they desparately need and deserve. Wake up politicians wake up do one honourable thing for your country.

The Lebanese political mafia headed by Hariri is back to rule Lebanon. Which means unfortunately no progress for Lebanon.
