Jreissati on Defense Minister's Challenges
Former Minister and Constitutional Expert Silim Jreissati explains the root causes of the recent shortcomings in Lebanese government performance, focusing on serious violations of customs and the constitution following the Taif Agreement. He confirms that Prime Minister Nawaf Salam acted in a manner contrary to the constitution, which transfers executive authority to the Council of Ministers, not individually to the Prime Minister. He points out that constitutional powers make ministers autonomous and that their roles must be respected. Jreissati criticizes the government's insistence on unofficially amending the general amnesty law through deputies, viewing this as a violation of state policy. He also notes that some decisions lack the necessary ministerial solidarity. Additionally, he denounces the restrictions imposed on the Defense Minister by the Prime Minister, especially the preventions on expressing recognition for the Lebanese Army martyrs. He affirms that a constitutional minister has the right to speak on behalf of the military institution and to publicly present demands. Such measures, he warns, threaten national unity and the rights of the martyrs.
