Kanaan Affirms Again ‘Christian Reconciliation Unbroken’

Free Patriotic Movement MP Ibrahim Kanaan of the Strong Lebanon parliamentary bloc affirmed there will be “no turning back” on the Christian reconciliation with the Lebanese Forces, the National News Agency reported on Friday.

In reference to the disagreements between the LF and FPM, the most recent over the Cabinet formation, Kanaan said: “The inter-Christian reconciliation has been achieved and communication is not broken.

“The is no turning back, and communication is ongoing, especially with (LF ) Minister Melhem Riachi; however, we need to reassess the previous stage to identify the gaps which shook this agreement in a bid to reach common political grounds,” said Kanaan.

Kanaan’s statement is his second this week after remarks made by FPM chief Jebran Bassil saying the agreement with LF (Maarab Agreement) “no longer exists.”

The Cabinet formation process faces some obstacles one of which is the Lebanese Forces representation.
