Recently, there have been rumors about communications taking place away from the media between the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces aimed at reaching a truce between the two parties. What is the truth behind this matter? Information from mtv indicates that a prominent media activist from the "Current" initiated contact with a deputy from the "Forces," proposing to mediate a joint effort to achieve a media truce between the two parties. However, the "Forces" deputy mentioned the matter to Deputy Gibran Bassil when they met in the parliament, only to discover that Bassil was not informed about this initiative and did not approve it. Subsequently, the "Forces" deputy refrained from pursuing this proposal, especially since its chances of success are minimal at this stage.
It is clear that the two parties are not ready for rapprochement or even a truce, especially since they each benefit from confrontation and rallying their supporters. However, this does not prevent ongoing communication between deputies from both parties who meet in private gatherings, in addition to coordination among deputies in the parliament, which was evident during the committee elections where deputies George Adwan and Ibrahim Kanaan played significant roles.
