Title: Consultations: "Better Late Than Never"

President Michel Aoun has set a date for the binding parliamentary consultations, which political sources commented on by saying, "Better late than never." This step comes approximately a month and a half after the parliamentary elections, raising questions as to why the consultations were announced only a week from the date. The sources questioned the wisdom behind this delay while the country is suffering under the weight of successive crises and skyrocketing prices of fuel and the dollar, especially as the price of a gasoline canister has exceeded 700,000 lira. They noted that this is a time when we most need a government to pull Lebanon from this complex crisis, while those responsible for the formation are insisting on dividing the "cheese" before it is even available. The sources anticipated difficulties in forming a government amid this mindset, which has led the country to a terrifying collapse. They asserted that the chances of formation are equal to the chances of failure given the presence of dishonest intentions that continue to put obstacles in the way of formation, prioritizing personal interests over the interests of the nation.
