Hariri Meets Aoun amid Reports of Progress on New Govt.

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri held talks Monday with President Michel Aoun at the Baabda Palace.
“I was honored to meet with the president and I held discussions with him,” Hariri told reporters after the 30-minute meeting.
“I will return on Wednesday afternoon to specify a lot of essential things,” he added.
Sources informed on the meeting meanwhile told VDL radio (93.3) that “the meeting that was held today is the first in three weeks, which indicates a new drive in the cabinet formation process.”
“A discussion of the general atmosphere and the reasons behind the lull in communication took place and proposals on possible solutions were made,” the sources added.
“Had there not been any progress in today’s meeting, a new meeting would not have been scheduled for Wednesday,” the sources noted.

“I was honored to meet with the president and I held discussions with him,” Hariri told reporters after the 30-minute meeting.
I was "Honored"! why don't you say" I met the president", why HONORED ? after all you both need each other? you both have to work on win win basis . Strange habits "the artificial politeness" in the Middle East.I hope the future generation will be emancipated from the inferiority complex.

لفت الحاج حسن في حديث لقناة الـ"otv"
إلى أنّ "الحكومة تتشكل عندما يتفق الحريري مع عون وانا انصح الرئييس المكلف بالتفاهم مع رئيس الجمهورية ورسالة حزب الله لكل الفرقاء التفاهم وتدوير الزوايا ولا بد من ايجاد مخرج بموضوع المداورة مع الابقاء على حقيبة المال مع الطائفة الشيعية"

Aoun and Hariri primary interest is who will control foreign aid. They are blackmailing western and arb nations to provide aid or the country will go hungry. I hope zero aid comes to Lebanon so hunger truly get Lebanon of this cancer exemplified by this entire political mafia and its puppet master Hizbollah. Otherwise, all aid will be a temporary band-aid that perpetuate corruption and HizbIran arms... the main source of Lebanon's problems and changing culture and identity.
