Joseph Aoun... An Unconventional President / 2

El Shark: Criticism is a legitimate right in a democratic society, provided it is based on facts and sound foundations. But responsible criticism differs from political one-upmanship; merely raising the bar of demands or holding others responsible for crises is not enough without offering realistic alternatives and workable solutions. One-upmanship begins when it becomes…

Salameh case: Depositors have the right to know the truth about the accounts

El Shark: President of the Association of Lebanese Businesspeople: When billions of dollars move in the shadows while depositors are denied their money, silence is no longer acceptable. Accusation alone is not enough, but ambiguity cannot be an answer either. The facts must be established, transactions traced, and the source of the funds verified,…

Sunrise and Sunset – by Khalil al-Khoury – The Impact of the Knesset Elections on the Situation in Lebanon

El Shark: Before the final results of the Knesset elections are announced, concern is mounting in Lebanon—not because one party is preferred over another, but to gauge the extent of the impact on Lebanon, from the south to the “framework agreement.” The state of bated breath and anticipation has returned because the Israeli side, led by Netanyahu, had linked the course of this agreement…

Irish support for Lebanon and concern over a vacuum after “UNIFIL”

El Shark: In a region hanging by the threads of possible settlement and the risk of an explosion, the Israeli elections do not appear to be an internal event isolated from Lebanon, which is awaiting their repercussions amid fears that military action could be resorted to if the formation of the Israeli government is stalled, while internal debate over the issue…

El Shark: President Saad Hariri wrote on the “X” platform: “The nomination of the distinguished diplomat Lana Nusseibeh for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations is a source of pride for all Arabs, women and men. I hope that all of Lebanon, officially and unofficially, will support this nomination so that it becomes an achievement by God’s…

Ad-Diyar: The relationship between President Nabih Berri and Mr. Walid Jumblatt is not merely a circumstantial relationship or one tied to political agreement at this stage or another. The two men have shared a special relationship since the abrogation of the May 17 Agreement during the term of former President Amin Gemayel, and before that, and they fought many battles together…

Ad-Diyar newspaper

Ad-Diyar: The Lebanese Forces Party sees no way to restore the state’s full authority, achieve full sovereignty, and place weapons exclusively in the hands of the Lebanese Army except by changing the internal balance of power and securing a parliamentary majority in the House of Representatives, reflected in the formation of the government. This can be achieved by reversing the law…
