Do International Initiatives Open a Window in the Wall of Stagnation?

Nothing new to mention, nor old to revisit; the country is in a complete paralysis waiting for the end of the holiday period and the resumption of political life. The meetings that took place in the past few days will not show their effects until next week at the earliest. There remains hope that they will align with a political solution, similar to international initiatives that might open a window in the wall of stagnation and create a breakthrough, complemented by active movements from internal political forces to reach the inevitable settlement. In this context, the visit of Member of the "Democratic Gathering" bloc, MP Wael Abou Faour, to Ain el-Tineh reaffirmed the necessity of dialogue, emphasizing that the head of the Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt will not leave any door for dialogue unopened; otherwise, he will knock on it.
