Hariri to Reveal a 'Surprise' Stance, Says Araji

W460

Al-Mustaqbal MP Assem Araji said he expects a “surprise" position from PM-designate Saad Hariri in the "next few days," as the government formation stalls further and the country drifts deeper into its economic crisis, al-Anbaa electronic newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Araji said amid the continued “obstacles and conditions” hampering Hariri's effort to form a new government, the PM-designate plans to take a position that will surprise many.

“How can Hariri form a government when the obstructing party insists on not interacting with Hariri?” asked Araji.

“Lack of interaction" between President Michel Aoun and Hariri, and adamancy not to discuss the formation process “only mean that Hariri’s role will be limited, and that he rejects, meanwhile the country continues to slide down into the abyss,” he added.

“After the (economic and financial) crisis, no political figure can form a government without the approval of the international community, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states,” added Araji.

“Lebanon will go into a major crisis after losing most types of medicine while smuggling is in full swing, especially wheat, flour and diesel.”

Despite his past mistakes, which were not done attentionally by him, I do trust that Saad could revive our relationship with the Gulf states, energize a real government, and ultimately put Lebanon on the right track. I sense honesty in him, which I rarely see in his counterparts, Aoun and Basil, who appear to be crooks. I can't help but reveal my true feeling based on what I see and hear. And since the two crooks will not allow Hariri form a productive government, I have the felling that we will not have one before these two vanish. It would be a miracle if Aoun, who is 90 years old and barely walking, suddenly dies as we all die from very old age. He's lucky to still be alive. Yesterday I heard of a retired army officer born in 1960 (60 years old) died. Hence, wouldn't someone like Aoun who is 30 years older die any time. This would then be the real liberation of Lebanon.
