Miqati to Move to 'Plan B', Might Step Down
[An Nahar] Prime Minister  Najib Miqati might soon move to "plan B" should the governmental paralysis continue, seeing as the impasse further complicates the solutions for the country’s unprecedented financial and economic collapse, a ministerial source said."He might resort to the option of resignation and his moves will start next week," the source told al-Liwaa newspaper in remarks published Friday.Political sources meanwhile expected a worsening of the diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... and the Gulf countries, amid a continued failure by the country’s leaders, especially Miqati and President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... , to find an exit. The sources said Aoun and Miqati failed to agree on a solution in their meeting on Thursday after the President "rejected the option of sacking Information Minister George Kordahi to avoid its negative repercussions on his relation with Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... Miqati instead openly called on Kordahi to voluntarily submit his resignation in order to "pacify the atmosphere and later launch contacts with the officials in the Gulf countries to discuss means to resolve the crisis," the sources added.
