Youssef Diab wrote in Asharq Al-Awsat:

Relations between the Lebanese forces and the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) have moved closer to the point of no return. They were on the eve of a "Maarab Agreement," signed in January 2016, in which the two sides fell back on more than two decades of military and political conflicts. Samir Geagea appointment of General Michel Aoun to the presidency.
Geagea's stormy storm during his television interview last Thursday, his fierce badault on Free Current and his foreign minister, Gebran Bbadil, and his corruption charge through the chartering of steamboats for production electricity, have not yet ceased. Ministers and deputies of the "Orange Movement" and its leaders, whether in statements to the media, in written statements or via social media.
The deterioration of relations between the two main Christian parties posed more of a question as to whether a "Maarab agreement" was still alive or if he had died, and a member of the bloc "a strong Lebanon" "(Led by Bbadil), MP As' ad Durgham, confessed Asharq Al-Awsat, that" relations with the Lebanese forces in a real crisis, but have not reached the stage of no return ". He felt that "can be treated if the other party so wishes and has stopped adopting the method of abuse," claiming that "understanding Maarab is not yet dead, but in the intensive care ward."
Dergham was surprised to find that "the Lebanese forces are in government and at the same time exercise the role of opposition and populism". "Unfortunately, it seems that by the political sadness they did not win the opposition, they failed to fulfill their role in power, which made them lose their political credibility", did he declare.
The relations between the two Christian groups deteriorated considerably after the last legislative elections, which increased the number of deputies "Lebanese Forces" from 8 to 15, and demanded the appointment of six ministers, including a minister and the post Deputy Prime Minister, despite the strong opposition of Basil, who said: The forces "accept three ministers or stay out of government and exercise the role of opposition.
Despite successive crises affecting relations between the two parties, a member of the "strong republic" (MP) Emad Wakim, MP, said that "the understanding of Maarab embodies a historic reconciliation between Christians and that it is in the interest of all to maintain it, but the immediate interests of Gibran Bbadil have achieved the goals "» In a statement to Asharq Al-Awsat, he said that Bbadil "proposed slogans to restore the rights of Christians, and we were with him on the right questions, from the election of President Michel Aoun to the electoral law until the restoration of citizenship of people of Lebanese origin ". "Unfortunately, since the election of President Aoun, Bbadil has started his battle against us in order to defend his own interests, and he believes that if we achieve achievements through joint action, LF will be transformed into a speculative partner. that the gains will be shared equally For the presidential elections, Dr. Geagea will be in front of him because of his political size, his role and his wrestling history, and that 's what' s about him. pushed us to fight openly against us. "
Wakim admitted that "the crisis erupted between (the Lebanese Forces) and (Free Stream), when we opposed the previous government charter, informing them that the ships would not provide a solution to the crisis. electricity, proof that the crisis has further worsened, "regretting the" President Aoun, We have had recourse to him several times, and we asked him to put an end to this path, we realized that He allowed all Gibran Bbadil and asked us to understand with him. "
The political division around the Jabal incident reinforces the division between the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces after they found themselves alongside Druze leader Walid Jumblatt. MP Wakim said: "Instead of tackling the difficult economic situation, we see this team (Aoun, Basil and Hezbollah) invent Crises, the mountain incident brings a way to disrupt the government and to demolish the country ". He stressed that "the Lebanese forces will remain facing this policy (the Free Patriotic Movement) until they feel the danger of their actions and return to the state-building project instead." to defend their interests ".
