Presidential File Stalled... Extension for Army Commander Not Yet Matured

Political sources stated that there is no movement on the presidential file, and the passing of a year since the vacancy has not led to any initiatives. They pointed out that the gap between political factions is widening due to multiple issues, which is reflected in the presidential file that has seen a decline in discussion, replaced by concerns over war and security vacancy, as described by the same sources. These sources told "Al-Liwaa" newspaper that the available options for extending the Army Commander include pitfalls, and the environment surrounding this scenario, whether through the government or the parliament, has not yet matured, implying that the file is likely to become more complicated. However, if an escape route arises, the extension may become a formality, yet the new alliance between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement cannot be overlooked as it stands against this decision.
