Lebanese President Michel Aoun will hold a meeting Friday evening with Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Saad Hariri to resolve the current crisis in the country.
"The success of the meeting of the Lebanese Presidential Palace will have the greatest impact on the course of the crisis in Lebanon," political analyst Wassim Bazzi told SPOTNIK.
"If the expectations are true and the meeting is held today, it will culminate the strenuous efforts led by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Director General of Public Security in Lebanon, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, in addition to the role played by Hizbullah invisibly to push towards a meeting space, despite standing firmly behind its ally Talal Arslan." .
Bazzi believes that the Qabrishmoun incident has resulted in significant repercussions, which led to the suspension of the meetings of the Lebanese government since the incident to this day.
He stressed that the meeting of the presidential palace if successful followed by the meeting of the government within hours, but it depends on whether the incident Qabrshmun will be presented to the Judicial Council or the military court, or will be walked in parallel.
He explained that the two lines should go towards the meeting of the government on the one hand and understanding on how to deal with the incident on the other, which will be determined by the meeting of the palace if successful.
"The repercussions of the incident were not confined to Lebanon alone, but also led to external interference," he said, describing the US embassy statement as blatant interference in Lebanese affairs. "What is happening in Lebanon is related to the tightening of the files of the region and the major confrontation between two axes in the region," Bazzi said.
Bazzi pointed out that "the obstacles to the success of the meeting are the space of suspicion between the parties concerned and the lack of confidence factors, as well as the fear of political ambushes and security, especially as Walid Jumblatt fears the transfer of the case to the Justice Council, especially as with the Justice Council fall all immunities and become his right Call any personalities whatever immunity. "
The most prominent new developments in the course of the Lebanese crisis, after the Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt announced in a text message, quoted by "Reuters" that he will attend on Friday, a reconciliation meeting with the Druze politician Talal Arslan attended by the higher political leadership.
The dispute between the Jumblatt and Arslan parties has paralyzed the government since a shooting incident at the end of June, and reconciliation between them could pave the way for a cabinet meeting, although no date has been set.
After the repercussions of the crisis and the interruption of government meetings, the United States entered the crisis line, following a statement by the US embassy on Wednesday, which said that the shooting incident in Lebanon must be dealt with in a way that achieves justice "without provoking politically motivated tensions."
Two accomplices of Lebanese Minister of State for Displaced Persons Saleh al-Ghareeb were killed in the June 30 shooting, which sparked a political conflict between Druze leader Walid Jumblatt and his Christian and Druze rivals allied to the powerful Shiite Hezbollah. According to press reports, the target was Minister Gebran Bassel, not Saleh al-Gharib.
