Lebanese newspapers issued today, Tuesday 21-12-2021 in Beirut, focused on the government file and the visit of Prime Minister Naguib Mikati to Ain Al-Tina.

The news «semi -settlement» starts from the Constitutional Council?

Al -Akhbar Al -Akhbar dealt with the internal affairs and wrote, saying, “On the background of the tense exit of Prime Minister Naguib Mikati from Ain Al -Tina and the previous leaks on a“ settlement ”to solve the government crisis, information ranged from confirmation and denial And new judicial formations in exchange for accepting the appeal submitted by the Free Patriotic Movement with the amendments to the election law. Until yesterday night, it was found that the major deal, which includes changing the Supreme Judicial Council and other judges, has fallen, so that the possibility of being limited to dropping the amendments to the election law in exchange for a law confirming that the judicial investigator is not entitled to try presidents and ministers. "Semi -settlement" starts from the Constitutional Council today?

If things go as a whisper is taking place on a very narrow scale, the weekend may witness the beginning of the resolve of the government crisis that affected more than a month, during which the cabinet sessions were suspended due to the dispute over the file of investigations into the Beirut port and the fate of the judge, Judge Tariq Al -Bitar. As the director prepared to end the crisis is linked to the decision of the Constitutional Council, which will be issued today in the appeal submitted by the "Strong Lebanon" bloc with the amendments to the electoral law, the features of the settlement that began to be revealed will be consecutively on the basis The government and change in judicial sites, in exchange for dropping the amendments made by the House of Representatives to the election law. With this, the doors will remain open to possible developments, especially since the proposed is greater than those involved in the settlement to accept it for internal and external considerations, as evidence of the launch of positions in the last hours that tried to dispose and evade the "settlement", by promoting through sources (as did the Free Patriotic Movement) Or directly (as it was stated by Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who came out from Ain Al -Tineh after his meeting with the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, indicating that they are annoyed) that they are not concerned with what is said.

Until yesterday night, it appeared that the "Great" settlement fell. This settlement was to ensure that Berri guarantees the amendments to the elections law that the Free Patriotic Movement complained of, specifically in terms of allowing expatriates to vote in the local 15 -approved electoral districts; In exchange for the Free Patriotic Movement guaranteed the secure of the quorum in the House of Representatives to separate the trial of presidents and ministers from the judicial investigation of the port's explosion, and to ensure that the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Suhail Abboud. The Free Patriotic Movement added the request to drop the discriminatory public prosecutor, Judge Ghassan Awaidat, and the Financial Prosecutor Judge Ali Ibrahim. However, this matter collided with the refusal of Berri to harm Judge Ibrahim, in exchange for Mikati's refusal to change Abboud and Awaidat. These proposals fell to shake the majority of those involved in their hands. With this, the settlement remained from the settlement: the amendments to the election law were dropped, in exchange for the separation of the trial of presidents and ministers from the rest of the investigation file in the port's explosion. The first test of this settlement starts from the Constitutional Council today: Will Berri secure the necessary votes to accept the stabbing of the Free Patriotic Movement with amendments?

Until yesterday evening, the atmosphere of the Free Patriotic Movement suggested positively towards the decision that will be issued by the Constitutional Council regarding the appeal "not as a matter of political barter" as its sources say, but rather in terms of "the inability of the constitutional to accept the broken parliament of Article 57 of the Constitution."

What happened in the plenary session that discussed the President's response to the amendments approved by the Parliament to the election law is "not subject to response", as the sources of the current indicate, and it will be a precedent in "hitting the powers of the President of the Republic first and hitting the partnership second." However, the acceptance of the Constitutional Council is to appeal the decision of President Berri, who was considered, when voting on the item on the voting of expatriates, that the absolute majority in Parliament is 59 deputies, not 65, by calculating the actual number of deputies - excluding the deceased and resigned - not the legal number, i.e. 128, will withdraw Directly on the rest of the articles contested so that it is not necessary to discuss them. The acceptance of challenging the entire law will lead to all the amendments taken in the House of Representatives. Then the parliament is supposed to meet again to vote on the amendments again or rather those that he wants to give the election law 44/2017. In the event that the Constitutional Council takes a negative decision, either to refuse to appeal or not to make a decision of any vote 5 members with the appeal and 5 against it, this keeps the law effectively with its established amendments. According to the current, "every other diligence in this regard is for political reasons or personal interests that is considered an explicit violation of the text of the constitution, and the Constitutional Council will have lost its credibility and wrote the end of its role itself and stressed the correlation of its decisions and political dictates to overthrow the reasons for its existence."

It was remarkable that the Aouni positivity was preceded by a negative atmosphere at the end of last week, and therefore informed sources suggested that "the settlement of what led to the failure of a barrier to work the constitutional in exchange for the current dealing with Balawiyah in the file of the judge Al -Bitar, especially in the abuses of the Supreme Judicial Council, while taking careTo keep the port's investigations under the leadership of Al -Bitar.However, the settlement frameworks will limit its role by separating the path of accountability of ministers and deputies for the rest, and will open the door to solve the government crisis, especially since all political parties have become embarrassing and are looking for a gym to vent congestion and reactivate the cabinet.

Despite the repeated exile attempts to more than one party that there is a settlement, prominent sources confirmed that “there are intense consultations to reach a solution, and everything is related to the decision of the Constitutional Council, as it will be built on the required thing. No one is guaranteed, especially since there is a party of lying and everyone says a position and then retracts it. ” Although work on the settlement started since last week, things exploded after the leaks that spoke about "a barter between the election law and the settlement of the judicial investigator through changes that extend to large judicial sites that reach the presidency of the Supreme Judicial Council." These leaks have caused a great confusion in the country to the point of talking about Mikati's resignation, which was denied by its sources at a later time, with confirmation that "President Mikati is not in acceptance of acceptance of this kind, if you find." While the sources of Ain al -Tineh were surprised by what is said, confirming that "President Berri confirmed to his visitors that he heard this settlement in the media", and that "during his meeting with my Mikati, he asked him if he was aware of a settlement of this kind, which the Prime Minister denied altogether and in detail." Regarding the way Mikati came out from Ain Al -Tina, Berri replied that "there is resentment of the lack of responsibility that the media deals with an exceptional crisis such as the country that the country is going through," considering that "there are party parties promoting such news for electoral purposes."

Yesterday, the political outcome ranged from confirmation and negation of the settlement, while attention today is directed to the decision of the Constitutional Council.Nevertheless, informed sources associated that the settlement, as it is, is "undesirable on the eve of the parliamentary elections."While it was circulated with information that "President Berri still refuses to sacrifice Judge Ali Ibrahim," the sources said that "Mikati and Minister Gibran Bassil cannot bear the consequences of conducting such a settlement in the Sunni and Christian streets, as well as the negative external negative situationsAnd that is what Miqati and his government cannot overcome. ”

After all the information circulated, the media office of the Prime Minister issued a statement in which he made it clear that Mikati “reiterated during the meeting its initial position by refusing to interfere in the work of the judiciary in any way, or the cabinet considered an arena for settlements dealing directly or by voices to interfere in judicial affairs absolutely, asMikati repeated that the solutions raised for the problem related to the subject of the Supreme Council to try the presidents and ministers are entrusted with the provisions of the constitution without anyone else, without accepting a digital decision that is inferred from it to circumvent the work of institutions ».

The statement pointed out that «Mikati informed this position to His Excellency President Michel Aoun and Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, which is an unambiguous position at all.His country is also continuing his duties and efforts to resolve the issue of resuming cabinet sessions, and any subsequent position he may take will be linked only to his national and personal convictions and his appreciation of the path of matters.Building did Mikati asked Berri a decadent government session "in honor of Guterres" as a hint of "sanctions"? Berri refused to "turn around the angles" prompted to talk about a deal, rejection and resignation?

Al -Bouna newspaper wrote, “Beating the political depression carried by the storm of Prime Minister Naguib Mikati, as he leaves the headquarters of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, angry, the political and media, and political marketing and political astrology prevailed over information about the truth of what happened, and caused a storm that blocked the storm of the weather that was carried by depression. A cold air in the mountains and the coast, and the leaked and marketed accounts are that a deal related to a number of judges refused President Berri, the side of his concern, which is the dismissal of Judge Ali Ibrahim in exchange for the dismissal of the Supreme Judicial Council, Suhail Abboud, was the reason, but this is supposed to be President Mikati is pregnant The settlement and its owner, while the words of Mikati the angry came with the opposite words, we are not concerned with, which requires that there be a deal that was completed between the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun and the Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, objecting to Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and the denial of this narration does not negate the fact that the president Berri does not mind that the Constitutional Council accepts the appeal presented by the Free Patriotic Movement against the amendments to the election law, as long as the issue of calculating the quorum is not a powers of the Constitutional Council and falls within the scope of the interpretation of the constitution It is considered the recognition of the Constitutional Council regarding the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives, and a non -objectionable position means that it will not pressure to disrupt the quorum of the constitutional council session today, and to disrupt the quorum necessary to convene or vote means approval, i.e. considering the amendments of the law a window, and if everything goes as expected and a decision is issued The Constitutional Council has returned the expatriate election to a special department for expatriates, so those who bet on a major change waiting for them from the expatriate vote will find a reason to explain their electoral failure, and in parallel anxiety of this vote will feel comfort The atmosphere that prevailed during the past days, but it is not sufficient to complete a settlement on the judicial file, which is awaiting the Thursday session of the Court of Cassation, which will consider the response requests referred before it.

Political sources linked Mikati's anger to his attempt to invest the visit of the Secretary -General of the United Nations, to smuggle a government session, under the title of an intermittent session during which the duo suspends the conditions for one time, and during the long session, the decisions that the government promised to accomplish, and there is no objection to returning to the boycott, is waiting for the file to be addressed The judicial by opening the path of prosecution before the parliament, and the sources say that Mikati submitted his call as a recycling of the angles, and the sources said that Berri considered the invitation a rotation about the angles and not a recycling of it, and he refused to wave the penalties, and said that the implicated session is similar to the intermittent pregnancy, asking whether the Virgin returns to a virgin yet The pregnancy is one time, and she added that what is required is one thing, which is a legal and constitutional solution for the judicial file, not a deal, no settlement, no rotation, or rotation, and the sources hinted that Mikati's failure led him to leak the story of the resignation and then deny it after the message that was expressed by the angry exit from Ain al -Tina, And the message is neither the eye of the star nor for a slave, but rather the international abroad through Guterres to distinguish Mikati from Aoun and Bari, and saying that he tried and failed, in the hope of excluding him from the penalties if there is no existence Great penalties.

While the presidential headquarters were busy receiving the Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, the media celebrated news and rumors about a settlement that was cooking away from the media between Baabda and Ain Al -Tina, to hold a session of the Council The Beirut Port Bombs, Judge Tariq Bitar and the Financial Prosecutor Judge Ali Ibrahim, but the settlement fell after the Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri refused to include the settlement by Judge Ibrahim, while it was reported that Prime Minister Najib Mikati refused any settlement that he did not participate in, and Mikati's exit was noted quickly His meeting with President Berri in Ain Al -Tineh, as he angrily answered a question about whether the "deal" is being done by saying: "We are not concerned with this issue."

On the other hand, the sources of monitoring Mikati's position in the maneuvering field were put in place to neutralize himself and the government from the settlement of the removal of Judge Bitar, so as not to bring the American and Gulf anger over it, but the well -informed parliamentary sources for "Al -Banqa" indicated that "the atmosphere ranges in its place, and what is rumored about an incorrect settlement or dealExcept in the media atmosphere, especially what was reported by social media, and what some wanted to leak for themselves, and what was said about the compatibility of the parties to the settlement is baseless and is far from the truth.However, Mikati's sources pointed out that "the meeting was not positive that Mikati expects."

After Miqati's position on Ain Al -Tina, information about his approach to Baabda to submit his resignation from the government was not known, and the source of this information was not known, knowing that the sources of both Baabda, Ain Al -Tina and Al -Sarayi government denied this information, noting that the government remains until now and work With various parties to reach a consensual formula to resume the cabinet sessions to continue to address multiple crises, and any other not true words. While other sources of "construction" expressed their surprise about spreading this news and what is aimed at it, asking how Mikati resigns while the Secretary -General of the United Nations did not leave Beirut? Explaining that the minimum diplomatic fitness requires that Mikati Guterres to leave Lebanon to announce his resignation if he intends to do so, knowing that his positions he launched at his press conference do not suggest this. Unless the source of the information is Miqati, we despair to pressure Aoun and Bari to retreat from the settlement, after he reached his ears that the settlement has become completed, so he was threatened to resign, because he realized that any decision of the Council of Ministers toppling Judge Bitar will present Mikati and the government to pressure and penalties, since the Americans as well as the French are They cover Bitar's work, while Washington and other countries want to invest this judicial file to the end of political goals and do not want to lock it.

However, Mikati's sources returned and circulated to the media to deny any talk about the resignation, and Baabda sources revealed that communication that took place yesterday evening between Mikati and the President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, confirmed that talking about the resignation is incorrect. The sources pointed out that "communication continues between political parties and Mikati, waiting for what will lead to things." The Ain al -Tina circles also confirmed to Al -Benaia that "there is no truth to what was circulated about what was called the settlement and the deal, and there is no validity to resign the government." The Baabda circles and the Free Patriotic Movement also denied any swimmers at the expense of justice. Note that information leaked that Aoun asked that the settlement would include the dismissal of the governor of Lebanon, Riyad Salam, after the cases multiplied on the charges of corruption at home and abroad.

Later, the media office of Mikati indicated in a statement about the meeting he held with Berri in Ain al -Tina, that he “repeated his initial position by refusing to interfere in the work of the judiciary in any way, or that the Council of Ministers considering an arena for settlements dealing directly or by voices to interfere in judicial affairs absolutely, as Mikati repeated that the solutions raised for the problem related to the subject of the Supreme Council to try the presidents and ministers are entrusted with the provisions of the constitution without anyone else, without accepting a resolution of any decision inferred from him to circumvent the work of institutions. It is an unambiguous position at all. His country is also continuing his duties and efforts to resolve the issue of resuming cabinet sessions, and any subsequent position he may take will be linked only to his national and personal convictions and his appreciation of the path of matters. So the clarification required. ”

Mikati announced in a chat with journalists yesterday morning regarding the disruption of the government, that he is still preferring to later the confrontation. He said: "The call to the session without the agreement between the ministers is an unpleasant matter, and I will not go toward a scenario that puts us in front of the government's resignations," by becoming bumps and political mines always exists. " On the investigations of the port's explosion, Mikati said, "The government's position is clear, as we do not interfere with the judiciary, but the latter must respect the constitutional frameworks as well, and yes, I am with the Supreme Council to try presidents and ministers, just as the army is being tried before the military court, the minister is tried before a special court as well."

A political source told "Al -Bunah" that "the solutions to the government crisis are frozen and left for the new year, in light of the hardening of regional and international positions and complications, which relax in their shadow over the internal scene, expected that the negative atmosphere will continue until the parliamentary elections, as the Americans and their allies will exert the maximum pressurePolitical, diplomacy, economic, financial and sanctions policy, for more siege on Hezbollah, pressure on the political class, investing the judiciary, monetary and financial crises to change the parliamentary majority, and create a new system that applies external conditions in sovereign files.

In parallel, attention is directed to the Constitutional Council, which will issue its final decision today regarding the appeal submitted by the strong Lebanon bloc with the amendments to the election law, and judicial sources stated that "one of the members of the Constitutional Council instead of his opinion in favor of accepting the appeal, especially since it is possible that this change has beenSecurity of 7 votes, that is, the majority he needs to accept the appeal.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres continued yesterday his tour of the presidential references, and renewed his adherence to the need to quit political differences, hold parliamentary elections and resume negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, expressing his willingness to help revive the maritime border demarcation negotiations.

Guterres toured the port of Beirut and reviewed the damage caused by the explosion of 4 August, and then he went to Ain al -Tina, and President Berri received him, who considered that "Israel did not implement the two decisions that are in question to stop the war violations, and it does not want a role for the United Nations in any mission It relates to southern Lebanese, especially on the issue of the maritime borders, knowing that this issue has spoken and we want it under the auspices of the United Nations and the Americans, and it is known that the companies that have been obligated delayed the issue because of security arguments and so far there is still a delay in this issue that affects the economy ». In turn, Guterres said: "We do everything we can to facilitate negotiations and reach a solution to demarcate the maritime borders to benefit from their oil."

Guterres then moved to the governmental serail and held an expanded meeting, during which Mikati renewed, "The affirmation of Lebanon's commitment to self -distancing from any dispute between the Arab countries, and that he will not be in theoretical, except a unification factor between the Arab brothers, and is keen on the best relations with all its friends in the world».As for Guterres, he said: “I heard from Miqati the government’s commitment to hold negotiations with the IMF and its commitment to conduct a number of necessary administrative and financial reforms, so that Lebanon can benefit from the available capabilities in light of the international support available today, which guarantees the start of achieving a kind of recovery.”

Sources familiar with the discussions conducted by Guterres told Al -Banaa that "his visit confirmed the solidarity of the international community with Lebanon in its deep crisis, and that Lebanon is still the subject of the United Nations, as well as their keenness to security and stability and strive to help it at various levels to restore its rise." The sources indicated that «Guterres discussed a number of political, economic and social files, especially the basic reforms that the government and the parliament are supposed to approve, negotiate with the International Monetary Fund, hold parliamentary elections, and implement international decisions, especially 1701 and the demarcation of the maritime borders.” The sources pointed to “multiple and direct messages From the visit, first for the Lebanese people, as it is not up to its fate, as if the United Nations seeks that Lebanon does not collapse the final collapse because Lebanon is not up to its ability and the crises in which he lives and there is a kind of assistance and it is political and non -political assistance to it, represented by the United Nations so that Lebanon stands on Serve, and transcends the great difficulties in which he lives. ”

However, well -informed circles pointed to Al -Banaa that Guterres's visit was made by the Americans and behind them the Israelis, to discuss the demarcation file and the pulse of those responsible for the extent of concluding a settlement of the Lebanese border file with occupied Palestine and with Syria, with security arrangements related to Israel's security by stopping the launch Fire, especially since Resolution 1701 stipulates the cessation of military actions, not the ceasefire, and therefore the situation is still on the border in a state of war, and the situation may explode at any moment amid fears expressed by Israeli officials from a war that Hezbollah may wage on "Israel" For several reasons, including the liberation of the Shebaa Farms. The circles considered that the visit of the Secretary -General of the United Nations comes to pave the atmosphere in front of the visit of the American delegate to Lebanon regarding the border demarcation file, Amos Hakstein, to revive the negotiations, amid information that he talks about that he carries new proposals to solve this file. Maj.

In turn, the brigade dealt with the internal affairs and wrote, saying, “Before President Naguib Mikati’s visit to Ain Al -Tineh, the prevailing atmosphere was that a“ settlement cook ”on the fire, consisting of giving MP Gibran Bassil in the decision of the Constitutional Council to accept the appeal submitted by his“ strong conglomerate ”, so that he will win the voices of expatriates in Supporting his weak regulations in the regions of Kesrouan, Jabil, Baabda, and even the Matn, in return, the "Shiite duo", whose name is negotiated by President Nabih Berri, is what responds to his demands, to remove the judicial investigator in the explosion of the Beirut port of Judge Tariq Al -Bitar from the pursuit of deputies in the council and the former ministers, and to be satisfied with what it is Administrative and security, as an essential introduction to the resumption of cabinet sessions and the exit from the tunnels of bets and expectations, and sharing the Lebanese way, by registering points, even at the expense of a homeland, taking fading and collapsing.

Informed political sources told the newspaper "Major General" that the issue of raising the immunities, a draft law submitted by the Future Movement, and pointed out that lifting the stones for everyone is a constitutional amendment project that calls for two -thirds, but are we in the context of amending a constitution and opening this section. She said: To lift the immunity of the President of the Republic after the powers were lifted from him, meaning that he does not exercise and make it responsible before the judiciary. The immunity of the President of the Republic has existed since the year 1926 and is not in the hands of anyone. She revealed that President Aoun called on Judge Al -Bitar to visit and listen to him, and the council can accuse him of and who said that there is immunity for the president. The same sources have repeated that there is no barter and the bodies standing at the doorstep of Baabda, no other power of disruption, no judiciary disrupts the procedural authority, nor the procedural authority is disrupted by the legislative authority. She explained that President Mikati, Prime Minister, is constitutional descriptions, and there is no convincing explanation for the failure of the Council of Ministers.

Political sources revealed the follow -up of the nature of the visit made by President Mikati to President Berri yesterday, in Ain Al -Tinyah, indicating that it is to consult and discuss its possibility to resume the cabinet sessions to discuss and approve important files and issues, which require approval of the cabinet, including the negotiation file with the International Monetary Fund The economic plan and others. However, Mikati's request to resume the sessions of the Council of Ministers collided with Berri's rejection, which again stipulated to find a solution to the problem of separating the prosecution of presidents, ministers and deputies for the powers of the judge, Judge Tariq Al -Bitar, according to the constitution, warning that any invitation to hold a session of the Council of Ministers before that will inevitably lead to the resignation of the ministers The Shiites from the government immediately.

According to the aforementioned sources, the Speaker of the Council raised with the Prime Minister what is reported by a basket of appointments to be prepared in many important positions and job sites in the country, based on understandings with the PresidentFill in all vacancy and conduct transmission in these circumstances, with the exception of salt and necessary to run the work of departments.

The Political Settlement Movement was taking place in the sight of the Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, who scored busy meetings, from Ain Al -Tina to Al -Saray Al -Kabeer, to the residence of the international official at the Moufambik Hotel, where he met there with spiritual leaders, before he put a wreath of flowers on a monumentThe memorial of the martyrs of the port in the explosion, which occurred on August 4, 2020.

The situation almost fell in the warning, with information that was attracted to a direction with President Mikati to resign after a settlement of a settlement with President Berri, but urgent contacts contained what could be described as "misunderstanding", even though President Berri and Mikati denied his occurrence at all.The prime minister sources said: There is no dispute with President Berri, and it will not be, and their relationship is not impeccable, and they are continuing to consult in person and institutions in all the files presented to revitalize the country.

As for the position of "Ain Al -Tina", it came in response to a question to "Major General" that President Berri's meeting with President Mikati came within the usual meetings between the two presidents, during which he raises all the files that were agreed upon at the time, and the course of difference in views is another time.She emphasized that everything that was raised about the meeting carried more than its content and all the words came within the natural context, nothing more, nothing less.

Later, the second presidential sources confirmed that there is no truth to all accounts of the meeting, at all, and the atmosphere ended with positive.The internal rams obtained a view from Guterres on the second day to visit Beirut, and after obtaining guarantees from the three presidents Michel Aoun, Berry and Mikati that «the elections will take place in early May before the specified constitutional period, and this means that Lebanon will allow the conditions for the election of ParliamentNew, helps to establish stability in the country. ”

Waiting for what MP Basil will announce in a political view of him about what was reported about the "collapsed deal", and perhaps also the position of Hezbollah Secretary -General Hassan Nasrallah, within the next few days, what happened during the meeting?The news that came out of Ain al -Tineh included:Then Mikati left without making a statement.

Guterres Tour continued the Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, his tour of officials.He tightened his adherence to the need to quit political differences, hold parliamentary elections and resume negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, expressing his willingness to help revive negotiations to demarcate the maritime border.The spiritual leaders met and toured the port, where a minute of silence stood on the lives of the martyrs of the explosion.He toured his direction to see the damage caused by the 4 August explosion.He concluded his tour by placing a wreath of blossom on the memorial of the martyrs of the wrapping explosion.

Then he went to Ain Al -Tineh, and President Berri received him, who considered that “Israel did not implement the two decisions that are in question about the endowment of war violations, and it does not want a role for the United Nations in any mission related to southern Lebanese, especially on the issue of the maritime borders, knowing that this issue we spoke and we want it with careThe United Nations and the Americans, and it is known that the companies that have been obligated delay the issue due to security arguments and so far there are still delaying this issue that affects the economy.

In turn, Guterres said, "We are doing everything we can to facilitate negotiations and reach a solution in order to demarcate the maritime borders to benefit from their oil."Mikati Guterres received in Al -Saray before they held an expanded meeting.On the occasion, Mikati said, “We renew the affirmation of Lebanon’s commitment to the policy of distancing himself from any dispute between the Arab countries, as his decision was in 2011 when the presidential statement was issued during its membership in the Security Council. Lebanon will not be, in absolute conditions, except for a unification factor between the Arab brothers, and is keenOn the best relationships with all his friends in the world.

As for Guterres, he said: “I heard from President Mikati the government’s commitment to hold negotiations with the Monetary Fund and its commitment to conduct a number of administrative and financial reforms necessary so that Lebanon can benefit from the available capabilities in light of the international support available today, which ensures the start of achieving a kind of recovery.”
