Hariri Resignation 'Not Urgent', 'Positive Surprise' Possible
The issue of PM-designate Saad Hariri’s resignation is not pressing anymore and Hariri will return to Beirut within 48 hours, sources close to him have said.
“Things are still in the hands of President Michel Aoun regarding the possibility of forming a mission-driven government without a blocking one-third and the ball is in his court,” the sources added, in remarks to OTV.
A source from the Development and Liberation parliamentary bloc meanwhile told MTV that Speaker Nabih Berri’s initiative is still ongoing.
“A positive surprise might happen at the eleventh hour, similarly to what happened with Tammam Salam’s government after 11 months” of negotiations, the source said.
A source from the Strong Lebanon bloc meanwhile told MTV that the bloc is “waiting for Hizbullah to openly announce the failure of its endeavor before acting accordingly.”
The source however added that his bloc is “ready for any step that can break the current deadlock.”

This is all a joke. It never was or is in the hands of Aoun or Basil. This is and always will be a ploy to ensure hizbullah has its say and it’s interests are protected in any new government. They want Lebanon to return to how it was in 2017-18 but the Arab and the western world aren’t interested in that option yet… they’ll starve the Lebanese to the death before allowing a government that could potentially risk their control. The sooner the Lebanese diagnose this metastatic cancer the better off you’ll be.
