Presidency and Hezbollah Dialogue
The article discusses the disagreement between the Lebanese presidency and Hezbollah regarding the role and independence of the state's decision-making, especially concerning sovereignty and internal balances. Sheikh Naim Qassem expresses criticism of President Aoun, considering him to have become a conflicting and divisive figure rather than a unifying leader. Meanwhile, the government believes that restoring state control requires an independent sovereign decision. The article also examines the debate over the possibility of initiating a comprehensive national dialogue before taking any negotiation steps, noting that some parties see dialogue as a way to strengthen the presidency's position, while others warn of the risks involved in acknowledging the presence of a foreign party participating in national decision-making. The main challenge, it underscores, lies in Lebanon's ability to manage internal divisions and secure political cover, amidst ongoing discussions about the role the President of the Republic will play in the upcoming phase—especially under external pressures and Hezbollah's insistence on keeping the door open for dialogue with it, despite strong criticism directed at President Aoun.
