Today, December 22, 2023, Arab newspapers and news websites covered many Arab and international topics, including an article regarding the challenges that Egypt will face following the election of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and an article regarding the future of the conflict between Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel.
Al-Modon website: “Hezbollah” and preventing Israel from an aggressive war: inventing “political deterrence”
In his article on the Al-Modon website, Mounir Al-Rabie considered that southern Lebanon has become in a state of real war, which is gradually expanding… in addition to the escalation of Israeli threats to impose an agreement that “restores security and stability” to the northern settlements, through diplomacy or resorting to war. This is regardless of the Israeli ability to achieve this militarily. But Lebanon today falls between two possibilities. Either Hezbollah is convinced of political deterrence, or it remains in front of the deterrence equation it chooses, the costs of which will be very high.
The writer on the Al-Modon website explained that if Israel imposes war on Hezbollah, then there will be a major political repositioning of the position of the Shiites inside Lebanon. If the war is like the example of Gaza, its costs will be very high on the political structure of the Shiite community, and this will affect their role and status in the structure of the Lebanese political system, politically, economically, financially and socially.
The party knows all of this. Therefore, he does not want to go to a wide war. Therefore, there are those who are trying to focus with the party on the necessity of reaching a political agreement, under the title of “political deterrence” instead of military deterrence, especially in light of Israeli brutality and American support.
Al-Khaleej newspaper: The experience of Tunisian local democracy
Kamal Belhadi says in Al Khaleej newspaper that Tunisia is holding local council elections on Sunday, which is the first experience in which Tunisians will be invited to elect their representatives from small localities, following local elections were previously limited to municipal elections.
The writer in Al-Khaleej newspaper considered that it is too early to judge this experience as it has not yet been completed, but it is an important step in the path of political modernization, which makes the political process closer to the citizen and holds him with a great responsibility to participate in it. These local representations will be assigned the tasks of searching for development solutions for entities that suffer from a severe shortage in investment projects, and this automatically imposes that these councils will be a real tool for contributing to reducing unemployment rates if they are well managed and their ideas and proposals are taken into account when the matter comes to the executive authority.
Egyptian newspaper Youm7: Challenges and priorities for the next stage
Adel Al-Sanhouri believes in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Youm Al-Sabea that what is on the minds of Egyptians, occupying their thoughts, and worrying them is known well by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, and he is aware of it and is certain of it, and he promises that it will be one of the most important priorities in the new presidency.
The writer says that if you ask any citizen currently regarding the most important file regarding the upcoming challenges, he will answer you immediately.. It is the file of prices, the unprecedented state of chaos in the local markets, and the monopoly carried out by some major merchants and greedy businessmen to control the livelihood and food of Egyptians in the absence of oversight and deterrent laws. And decisive.
The writer in Youm7 newspaper explained that many economic experts agree that the inflation file and its impact on prices is one of the most important files and challenges during the coming period, and requires procedures and measures in monetary and financial policy to control it through coordination between the Central Bank and the Council of Ministers, and not just the Central Bank. Relatively stable or declining inflation, price stability along with the stability of the local currency price and the availability of foreign exchange supply contribute to attracting foreign investments and allow companies – both national and foreign – to plan for the future, because they know what to expect.
