Bassil: This is the time for diplomatic solutions while using strength points

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil announced Tuesday that There is “a big chance for a real solution” in the file of the sea border negotiations with Israel.

“The FPM is fully with seizing this chance and the dispute gap is narrowing, but the (Israeli) answers are still unclear,” Bassil said after a meeting for the Strong Lebanon bloc.

“The Qana for Karish equation must be established, but what’s more important than demarcation is allowing us to extract (gas). This is the appropriate time for Lebanon to carry out diplomatic solutions that are fair to it while using the points of strength,” Bassil added, while stressing that “we are not weak.”

As for the cabinet formation process, the FPM chief emphasized that “the President is a complete partner in the cabinet formation process, regardless of the FPM’s stance.”

“He has the right to voice his opinion over all portfolios, regardless of sects, and so does the premier,” Bassil added.
