The weekend is calm on the impact of communications … A new initiative to solve the Cyprus problem could free the government

It was enough for the Prime Minister's office to issue a statement announcing his departure for a private visit in order to confirm the information on the failure of his recent efforts to revive cabinet meetings and to have all affairs left to the week. next in light of the initiative. This statement was resurrected by the Director General of General Security, General Abbas Ibrahim, launched from Ain al-Tina after the meeting that he and Nabih Berri held, which continued his contacts and deliberations in order to find a solution. flaw that can be filled by the acceptable solution.

Initiative of General Ibrahim
And new discussions on a new initiative to break through the judicial wall following the Qabrshmon incident, and on the fact that General Ibrahim reactivated his engines in this regard, after having obtained the green light from the Presidency. In the initiative, a return to the proposal to pursue the Qabershmoun case before the military court, pending that the indictment be based on the need to transfer the case in the Council of Justice, according to the newspaper "News".

The Al-Liwaa newspaper reported that no significant progress had been recorded either in communications or in meetings, while the positions showed persistent divergence between the parties concerned, whether for the need to hold a quick government meeting or for the referral case file to the Justice Department.

A government source familiar with An-Nahar said the initiative included a fundamental basis for the solution, but some tried to link the call at the firm's meeting to the trajectory of the initiative, not in its place, neither politically nor constitutionally. The source pointed out that the invitation to the Cabinet is exclusively dictated by the Prime Minister, empowered by the Constitution to invite and prepare the agenda, and by any other speech intended to suspend the agenda. invitation to a non-constitutional political meeting with no place in President Saad Hariri's dictionary. And the Council of Ministers for the President is a council of all qualities and all members and the political quorum, and when it decides to convene a meeting, the meeting is addressed to all ministers without exception because it makes no sense to become a cabinet under the burden of this crisis or that one.

Propeller without progress
The sources said that Hariri had no intention of returning the Qabrshmon incident to the Council of Justice or submitting it to the Council of Ministers in case Baabda sources were asked how a Government session would be organized and the question of referral had not yet been settled. The sources of the Socialist Party confirmed that "we have provided a lot and we do not have any anymore." The sources of the Democratic Party indicated that the request for referral to the Council of Justice was not overturned.

All of these positions confirmed the sterility of existing contacts and the situation continues without any noticeable progress, which confirms that informed sources have learned that the crisis that erupted with the Qabrushmoun incident is more than enough. a partisan struggle within the Druze community. In the region, although Jumblatt denied the existence of a link between Qabershmoun and the Strait of Ormuz.

Hariri Egypt at the center of a government session
In this context, ministerial sources confirmed to the "Middle East" that Mr. Hariri was committed to convene a meeting of the Council of Ministers next week, without specifying the location, and that it was 39, would act as a meeting with a clear agenda for the resumption of work of institutions and activation.

The sources came to a halt yesterday at Hariri's meeting with Aoun at Baabda Palace, highlighting the "positive climate" in which Mr. Hariri presented the topic of the meeting to Mr. Aoun. The parties share the common belief that no one has an interest in continuing to disrupt the institutions, noting that the parties have taken part in the discussions. From this common point, while Aoun called for consultations.

The sources said that Aoun has raised no objection to the leadership of Hariri, who is not against him, stressing at the same time that there is a positive attitude to the situation. Aoun which will be announced very soon in the same trend is the mechanism of resumption of work of the government. The sources confirmed that there was a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers "regardless of the cost".

Avoid voting
According to the information "Diyar", there were still efforts to avoid the use of the vote in the Council of Ministers because of the negative repercussions that could result not only for the government, but also for the country.

A senior departmental source on the ground said that the possibility of voting was an option without a lot of caveats and that it would be better to tackle the Qabrushmon problem and find a solution to this problem before to appeal to the Cabinet.

But he added that these efforts had not yet resulted in the desired agreement, knowing that the situation was open and that the answer was not without end.

As part of the search for issues in the Qabrushmoun case, the information provided to Al-Diyar indicated that the insistence of the Democratic Party chairman on the priority of referring the matter to the Military Council in exchange the rejection of the leader of the progressive party and the confirmation of the extradition of the other party gives the impression It is not just a security or judicial problem, but the reflection of a crisis policy that transcends the borders of this region and the mountain.

According to the sources of the Progressive Socialist Party, the party would have shown flexibility in handling the orchard incident and would have reacted to the extradition of wanted men, but the other party insisted on refusing to d & rsquo; Extradite the wanted men and demanded that the case be referred to the Military Council.

The sources believe that efforts made from the first moment indicate that there is an attempt to target the party through the exploitation of this incident and that the request to refer the matter to the Justice Council is not a legal requirement as much as any of the episodes of this targeting.

The Progressive Party strongly rejects such an attempt, stressing at the same time that it was and remains open to all ideas and substantive solutions, and that it is not even the one who is closing the door on these solutions.

The Democratic Party believes that the request for the referral of the case to the Council of Justice is entirely consistent with the objective treatment of what happened in Kibrishmon: the crime is not ordinary. but it targets a government minister and affects security and stability, not in the region where it occurred, but in the mountains and perhaps even more.

In this context, ministry sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that Arslan had rejected the settlement proposed by Joumblatt to include the mountain accident in Shuwaifat's crime record and to refer them back. two cases before the Council of Justice if it was necessary, settlement acceptable by President Saad Hariri. Parliament Nabih Berri, while leaving "Hezbollah" to his ally Arslan, freedom of decision.

The sources said Berri had informed Arslan of the connection between the two incidents, but Arslan told Finance Minister Ali Hbadan Khalil that the approach was rejected.

The sources added to the "Diyar" that recourse to justice should not frighten anyone, and that recourse to the Justice Council does not mean to target a party as much as the normal procedure of the crime committed.

In the view of the same sources, what happened was not just a "punch" or a pbading safety incident that could be tolerated, so the other party must be aware of the magnitude of what happened and deal with it objectively.
