The dollar: at thirty-one thousand, gasoline is regarding six hundred thousand, and diesel is regarding seven hundred thousand. As for the bundle of bread, it was sold on the black market for thirty thousand, while electricity is blacked out once more, and the reality of the telecommunications sector faces its last chance tomorrow in the Council of Ministers to prevent its collapse..
Citizens are in a state of astonishment at what is happening in front of their eyes without any deterrent at a time when the indicators of free fall are racing once morest the start of the elected parliament. Will all these warnings speed up the wheel of the constitutional institutions to pick up the tools that have not yet fallen and start the treatments to brake the collapse?
In any case, Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s government began preparing for the handling of business, considering that it is considered to have resigned with the end of the current parliament’s term, and it will convene under the chairmanship of President General Michel Aoun at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, and its last session, and the Council of Ministers will consider an agenda of one hundred and thirty-two items. , deals with financial, employment, educational and other matters.
In light of the preoccupation of the political forces in reading the results of the parliamentary elections, former US Assistant Secretary of State David Hale saw in an article on the Wilson Center website that French President Emmanuel Macron might seek dialogue among the Lebanese regarding new, bold forms of government.
But what is remarkable in his article is that it is time to evaluate whether Lebanon is a priority for US officials.
The beginning of the loaf crisis and the queues of humiliation in front of the bakeries.

The elections became intoxicated, and the idea of arranging the resulting events at the parliamentary and governmental levels came to light.
And because the situation cannot afford the luxury of wasting time, what is required is to accomplish the upcoming entitlements quickly, especially since the new parliament begins its mandate following three days and the government then enters the stage of conducting business.
The achievement of these benefits may find its way in the spirit of the road map that President Nabih Berri put forward, away from the quarrels, quarrels and tense speeches of the group of protective heads.
One of the most important requirements to expedite the completion of the upcoming parliamentary and governmental benefits is related to the uncontrolled economic, financial and living reality, which needs more attention to be treated.
The dollar continues to devour the national currency, and the crises of bread, flour and fuel have revived scenes of queues, and the state’s electricity is around the corner from permanently declining.
On the flames of this scene, the Council of Ministers meets in a farewell session in Baabda Palace, with an agenda filled with one hundred and thirty-three items, and the Council will conduct an assessment of the parliamentary elections.
In an American assessment of it, the former American diplomat, David Hale, said that the electoral gains made by the opposition are not enough to direct the political scene in Lebanon, and pointed out that the Amal Movement and Hezbollah bloc captured all the Shiite seats, which gives it a decisive influence on the upcoming political choices. The veteran diplomat expected that the president would seek French Emmanuel Macron to arrange a dialogue between the Lebanese.

The elections ended and social and economic problems emerged once more. The period of the rule of the “Together to the Rescue” government ended without any kind of rescue being achieved! The Mikati government, which promised the people electricity, will hold its last session tomorrow, while the country is immersed in an almost total darkness. And the economic and social reforms, which many believed would be achieved, remained ink on paper.
Even the negotiations with the International Monetary Fund did not reach the desired conclusions. Also, the dollar is flying once more, taking in the way the prices of bread, fuel and foodstuffs.
Only one thing the Salvation Government committed to and implemented: holding the parliamentary elections on the constitutional dates. This is something that is recorded for it, especially since the elections painted a new scene for the political reality and confirmed once once more that the Lebanese do not want illegal weapons, nor an illegal statelet, nor bullying abroad to subjugate the inside. Will Hezbollah return to the Lebanese option before it is too late?
The funny thing is that in the last session of the Council of Ministers tomorrow, it contains illogical clauses. The third item on the agenda, for example, provides for the presentation by the Deputy Prime Minister of the strategy for the advancement of the financial sector. Will the government, which has been unable to achieve its strategies from the beginning until today, succeed in implementing a financial strategy two days before it becomes a caretaker government? Is the financial strategy really what is needed, or is it striking what remains of the foundations and pillars of the financial sector in Lebanon?
As for the 72nd item, it provides for an amendment to the Electricity Regulation Law.
The available information indicates that the amendment is a benevolent smuggling from the government in favor of Gibran Bassil.
The situation is not better. With illegal weapons, anything is possible. And the last possible oddity is what happened last night in the Jbeilian town of Lhasa. Individual problems developed into shooting between supporters of Talal al-Miqdad on the one hand, and supporters of Hezbollah on the other.
And all this once morest the background that Miqdad was nominated on the list of Farid Haykal Al-Khazen, which annoyed the Shiite duo. Is this the weapon of resistance that Hezbollah talks regarding and considers sacred? Was the town of Lhasa transformed into a new Shebaa Farms so that Hezbollah was forced to use weapons there?

Bonsoir Hakim, how are you, inshallah good?
We are talking to you from the 22nd floor above the ground, and we can see how many more floors. Can you hear us at 18? In any case, if you can’t hear us, turn to the OTV, and we will follow next Saturday at 5 pm. Bring you a surprise.
A surprise from an entire people. You may have thought of canceling it, but it came to you on May 15 from under 17 land, and you said: We were, and we stayed here.
We were the first to fight Karmal State in the war, and despite your participation with the occupation in striking us, we remained in the Taif stage and your war once morest the Lebanese army and October 13.
We were the first people to fight for freedom, sovereignty and independence, at a time when you had your mind to increase your share in the governments of the occupation era between the 90s and 94s, and we stayed and came back to you following 15 years of exile, a current that spanned the area of Lebanon and the countries of expansion.
We were the first to call for correcting the national balance, and respecting parity between Christians and Muslims, at a time when your most prominent achievements in this field were the dropping of the proposal of the Orthodox Gathering Law… and we remained a title for national unity, coexistence, and Lebanon the message, as they described Pope Saint John Paul II.
We were the first to consider that Lebanon is a robbed and not broken country, the first to demand a criminal audit from the nineties, the first to call for an audit of state accounts from the 2010s, the first to suggest the formation of a special court for financial crimes from 2013, and the first to introduce dozens of reform laws, at the time I was denying The presence of terrorism in Lebanon and the region, while obedience to countries progressed, and we remained the spearhead of actual change and real reform, not reforming hobbies and slogans.
We were the first to present projects and plans for electricity, water, waste, and others, at a time when all your work was to disrupt, although you admitted one day that these plans were good, and we continued to complete the process and achieve all dreams.
We were the first to call for a defensive strategy that preserves the elements of power and preserves the state, its sovereignty and its wealth, without incitement that might threaten civil peace. Not the state.
In any case, with everything that happened and what you did in us and in Lebanon, we were and we stayed.
We stayed Karmal Lebanon, and not once morest you.
We stayed, as the sand of the people of Lebanon, following your party’s supporters from within.
We remained like the sand of every martyr, wounded and injured, from the army, civilians, and from all sides.
We stayed until hope remains, and until Lebanon remains.
Today, your words were not sweet. Neither the numbers are correct, nor the description. He concluded, he admitted the results, and let us all stop counting votes and deputies, until we start working and counting achievements. And you in particular, you promised a lot, and the Lebanese will ask you for a lot, so why are you wasting time following you?
Instead of all your concern, you say that the forces are 19 while the current is 18, and these numbers are of course wrong, why do we not say that we are all together that the movement and its allies are 22, and the forces and its allies are 18, meaning the current and the forces together are 40, and the current and the forces the rest of the Lebanese have 128 representatives, who are able together to achieve miracles, And rid Lebanon?
Hearing from us… this is the most suitable for this stage, because it is true that the work is a lot, but the harvest will be large, and the workers do not have to be few.
Here is our message for today, in the name of all Christians, and all Lebanese, of every sect and religion, and even of the secular… And if you hear us or they don’t tell you, you will surely keep us informed on Saturday.
Of course, this is not what OTV says… This is the mouthpiece of a large segment of the Lebanese people. I followed your press conference today, and it has been two years and more than living with the heart of suffering, and tired of the strife, and it only wants unity, solidarity and faith, until Lebanon returns.
* Introduction to the LBC TV news bulletin
Despite all the prominent living and electoral developments in Lebanon, the news that rises to the level of the event is an Arab international. US President Joe Biden is in Saudi Arabia next month. And a meeting with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. American media, including CNN, revealed the news.
It is noteworthy that the Wall Street Journal had revealed last month regarding a secret meeting that took place between CIA Director William Burns and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as part of what it described as American efforts to reform the relationship between Washington and Riyadh, and the visit, according to an American official, resulted in a good dialogue and a better tone. .
In Lebanon, crises “blown out” at once: medicines, fuel, loaf, while the cabinet “deposit” tomorrow in its last session, before the government resigns and enters the caretaker tunnel: a rich session with strategic items: from the recovery plan to participation in the World Summit on Tourism in the Maldives, colloquially means “tourism at the expense of the state”, and between the recovery plan and tourism is an item related to amending the regulation of the electricity sector, and there is no more than that in the item.
The government is bidding farewell at a time of growing crises that are close to being intractable, so how will the treatment be in the caretaker government, which will bear this capacity as of the day following tomorrow, Saturday?
Today, crises exploded at once: medicines for incurable diseases, fuel, electricity, bread. There is no artificial living explosion, but rather it is a natural result of temporary prosthetic treatments that must explode successively.
Within the framework of the Lebanese contacts with the decision capitals, it was learned that the Director General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, is leaving Beirut for Washington on Saturday.
In the same context, Prime Minister Saad Hariri will be in Washington on a special occasion, during which he may meet with US officials.
* Introduction to the new TV news bulletin
This is the time of fanfare without flour.. and what is the use of Samir Geagea if Samir Geagea is stronger than Gibran Bassil or the duo armed with the force of sixty as long as the country does not laugh at the “hot loaf” alone bread has become news from the past action and a speculative partner for the dollar in its flight, following it has become his tie with the black market.
Lebanon has had its share of a food crisis that has become the talk of the world, but with an added value for a country residing in hell, alienated from the state tomorrow, no flour, and the ovens will extinguish their fires in a state carrying firewood, and my father’s hand is a flame that extends beyond food, medicine, and fuels of all kinds.
The telecommunications sector reached, and on wired and wireless lines, Minister Johnny Corm suspended his resignation following a press conference in which he declared that the sector is threatened with collapse unless the government approves the two decrees to increase the tariff. The start of the countdown to the mandate of Parliament.
The new one next Monday, and with the end of the lesser jihad in the boxes, the greater jihad will fight its fiercest battles between Nabih and Berri to obtain the sum of the blocs in his nomination as a new speaker of Parliament.
In the announced positions, the head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, was the first to issue a fatwa not to vote for Berri, and today, in his press conference following the elections, he put specifications that do not match the current president.
On the basis of these specifications, the forces will elect the Speaker of the Council. As for the specifications of the next government, the forces will not be satisfied with a “national soup government.” On the margins of standards and the loss of the majority, and from previous experience of living underground, Geagea gave advice to Basil by saying, “If you leave, clean something on the 17th floor and sit in it.” This is in relation to the seventeen deputies of the Gibran National Movement bloc.
For his part, he is still under the electoral shock and is facing currents from within the orange flank that are close to dissent. On his position on naming a speaker to the Parliament, MP Alain Aoun demanded in an interview via Al-Jadeed not to turn the parliament into barricades, and the current whose bloc did not heal to announce its position on this entitlement is known for its maneuvering. , and he may extend Berri a new term in the event he extracts a pledge to be the deputy speaker of the parliament from the core of the national movement.
Until this moment, the fog did not clear over Nejmeh Square and in the time of open mouths on the presidency and its deputy, Speaker Nabih Berri began preparing rabbits, especially following talking and leaking regarding two names he might put forward in the session, namely Inayat Ezzedine and Qabal Qabalan to chair the House of Representatives, while the position of the Vice President was placed on leveling fire.
Lebanese Forces: There is no bargaining between Ghassan Hasbani and Berri. The accounts of the National Movement are equal and Bader Elias Bou Saab. Will the traditional blocs agglomerate in the face of all change if he is named a union figure for the vice president? What regarding the position of the Progressive Socialist Party, which is doomed to remain a dead egg.
Until the picture becomes clear, the pre-election is not the same as following, and the discourse of moderation and non-discrimination presented by Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah does not negate the fact that the Shiite duo reproduced most of the mummified faces, according to what the former leader of the Amal Movement, Muhammad Obeid, wrote.
Obaid added, “The return to adherence to the system of corruption within and outside the Shiite circle, protecting it and re-floating it means that the party is determined to lose the segment of the civil servants and expatriates, and that the party besiege the sect with a predetermined choice in choosing a speaker for the parliament, and to prevent the sect from any future possibilities, other than those within the framework of the sect. President Nabih Berri’s bloc, with the suspicions and prosecutions that are suspected of its names.
Obaid called on the party to review its positions on the basis that the duo had defeated the Shiites.
