Jumblat Delegates Abou Faour, his Son Taymour to Meet Hariri in Jeddah
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat delegated his son Taymour and caretaker minister Wael Abou Faour to Saudi Arabia for talks with al-Mustaqbal movement chief Saad Hariri on efforts to help line up the cabinet, the As Safir daily reported on Tuesday.
Abou Faour, Caretaker Minister of Social Affairs, and Taymour Jumblat arrived in Jeddah Monday evening for talks with ex-PM Hariri, the newspaper said.
Several members of the March 14 alliance are likely to join in the discussions taking place in Jeddah in a bid to help solve the stalemate in forming a government, the daily quoted informed sources on condition of anonymity.
PM-designate Tammam Salam, on a vacation in Switzerland, contacted Hariri for the same purpose, according to As Safir.
Salam is seeking the formation of a 24-member cabinet in which the March 8, March 14 and the centrists camps would each get eight ministers.
Salam insists to have a cabinet where he has veto power, vowing to step down if any party resigns from the cabinet.
The March 8 camp has meanwhile been demanding that it granted veto power in a new cabinet, which the premier-designate has repeatedly rejected.
The March 14 camp is calling for keeping Hizbullah away from the cabinet over its role in Syria's war.
President Michel Suleiman for his part assured that he will use his jurisdiction and accept a cabinet formula submitted by Salam if it proves to serve the nation's interest.
“If the PM-designate gave me a cabinet formula to study, and if I saw that it serves the national interest, I will not hesitate to use my jurisdiction and accept it,” the daily quoted visitors to Suleiman.
Jumblat is expected to deliver a speech on Sunday, commemorating the annual anniversary of the PSP martyrs in Aley.

The Lebanese are calling for keeping Harir and his associates called the mustaqbal away from the cabinet over its role in Nahr El Bared, Abra and the Dinniyeh clashes for which Ahmed Fatfat played a major role. This terrorist now lives near our home in Achrafiyeh to demonstrate to people he is not tied to any Salfist or Takfiri group when it is him and his masters el sit Bahia her brother Saad and Saniora who make sure the Saudi strategy is executed on the ground.

Bahia & Saad brother and sister? Whaaat? Keif? Waow, while expressing opinions his highly encouraged in a free society, getting one's facts straight instead of selling fiction as fact is the appropriate thing to do. Whatever proofs you have, you have a moral obligation to present them to the authorities so these so-called criminals can be charged and arrested. Don't worry, since the entire security apparatus is under the control of your beloved HA, these criminals won't be able to escape and will have to pay for their crimes.

Lebanon is sick. I'm tired on political dynasties, cronyism, nepotism, co-optations.....
This is a plague in Lebanon, but also in the country I live in. Democracy is failing us.
Unlike discussing matters over the phone with cheikh Saad al-Haribi Telteyn al-Marajil, meeting face to face with wonderboy is much more intellectually satisfying especially when you consider the stench of Sanni that permeates the room. takbir.
