At the same time, it was announced that Arslan would hold a press conference this afternoon in Khalde.
Saleh al-Gharib, Minister of State for Displaced Persons, welcomed the reconciliation held at the Baabda meeting. He told "Republic": "Our request from the beginning was clear and it was the last word for the judiciary, and that's what happened".
He stressed that "the reconciliation of the five parties in Baabda was on the table among the previous initiatives, and we accepted them and are satisfied with the result achieved today." He pointed out that "the step has had a positive effect on the street and people are comfortable".
Night catch solution
Sources that accompanied the contacts recounted the events of the "night of capture" of the solution, that things accelerated after ten o'clock last night, when the negotiations ended in deadlock because of Jumblatt's tweets in which he accused those who had called the "president of the country" to "want revenge". As well as the Arslan tweets, which accused the "other party" of "seeking to tighten the political seat imposed on itself", and insisted that the Council of Ministers took a stand to refer the Qabrishmon issue before the Council of Justice.
While Jumblatt refused to raise this issue from time to time within the government, contacts were made to the point that the Director General of General Security, Major-General Ibrahim Ibrahim, had engaged with Jumblatt and Arslan sent them a written letter explaining how he was going to address the Justice Council issue, but they had refused. . What help would I have called Berry to ask her what to do? Berri replied: "The solution, Mr. President, will be only reconciliation, because the issue goes beyond the Council of Ministers and we no longer know who was targeted by the incident. Ministers Gibran Bbadil and Saleh al-Ghareeb of Qabrshmoun decided to return to the table of contents. "The roadmap I proposed for treatment begins with reconciliation."
Aoun responded by stressing that "we must cooperate to find a solution and that we should not be late because the financial and economic situation can not delay the treatment." Berri called Jumblatt, saying, "This solution is in your interest." Let's go to the presidential palace for reconciliation, otherwise the country will go to war, "said Jumblatt.

Arslan began to respond to him. At 9 am yesterday for consultations and contacts.
At that time, Haji Hussein Khalil, Political Assistant to Secretary General Hbadan Nasrallah, established a communication channel between him and the President of the Republic and Berri, where contacts continued until dawn , until Arslan calls Berri at ten o'clock in the afternoon and informs him of his approval of the proposed solution. The meeting is "a franchise meeting before a reconciliation meeting, because there are a lot of things we need to talk about, so that all papers and records are on the table". Berri received the approval of Arslan and it was agreed to hold the meeting at 5 pm yesterday at the presidential palace. Asked about the possibility of holding a cabinet meeting after this meeting, Aoun was of the view that this meeting should be held in the light of the atmosphere of the reconciliation meeting and its outcome. The President of the Republic wanted to precipitate the solution because of Hariri's trip to Washington, where he will meet officials, as well as the current meeting because of his move on January 16 to the president's summer residence from the Republic to Beiteddine Palace, and it is customary for Jumblatt to receive it every day. These factors helped speed up the solution.

"Strengths"
For its part, the sources "Lebanese Forces" told "Republic" that "the separation of the political route from the judicial route in the Qabrshmun incident was claimed from the first moment" and regretted "to disturb the country about a month and a half and the political climate tension and accelerate the pace of collapse in order to achieve political goals "While the incident should have been placed in its purely judicial setting, far from the attempts to politicize. "
The sources called for "an intensification of government meetings to make up for the large losses suffered by Lebanon due to prolonged disruption", and called for "an exhortation to what happened and the suppression of the institutions of attractiveness and separation between them and not used for political purposes ". She said that "the recent crisis and its consequences have had a negative impact on Lebanon's reputation, its image, tourism and public confidence in the government". She stressed "the need to change the path adopted by some, because the country no longer tolerates its hatred and its mobile clashes, just as the priority of the population is its livelihood threatened by reckless policies of this type" .
These sources concluded by stressing "that the urgent priority today is to translate the 2019 budget and liquefaction of" cedar "aid and to place the 2020 budget on the table of the government and of the" cedar ". draw attention to everything that will restore health in Lebanon and the Lebanese to move away from hate politics and madness.
