Sheryan: Hizbullah’s Presence in the gov’t in Lebanon’s Interest

The Saudi journalist Dawod Sheryan considered that "excluding the statements of some politicians and some talk shows on Lebanese satellite channels, the issuance of the indictment in the assassination of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, had no effect on the Lebanese street."

Sheryan noted that the "match between the charges with the leaks that have been addressed over the past two years in newspapers and Western media, most notably German Der Spiegel and the French Le Monde, caused the cool reception in the Lebanese street."

Stressing that "the decision came up with nothing new that people didn't expect, the Lebanese political scene got confused, turning it into the fuel of a battle on the life of the Prime Minister Najib Mikati's Government."

In the article published Monday in al-Hayat pan Arab newspaper Sheryan added that "the new majority's interest is to prolong the life of the pointing out under the title "Will the future Do it" that "it is not wise that Future Movement faces this political objective since PM Mikati is able to do what the former majority couldn't do."
"The interest of the new opposition is in the continuation of the current government, whose death means hitting the country's stability as well as removing the tribunal's case out of circulation for a time that may last for long years," the Saudi journalist warned.

The writer concludes that "Hizbullah's presence in a government in which it has the majority, seeks to defend it, and to prolong its life until the elections, is better for Lebanon and the justice than in its existence outside the government."
