Dialogue Next Week... Hariri to Return Soon

The term of President Michel Aoun ends next Monday, leading the country into a new phase of significant political challenges, including Speaker Nabih Berri's invitation to Lebanese parties for a dialogue table. Informed parliamentary sources told "Akhbar Al-Yawm" that the main focus of this dialogue will be to reach an agreement or understanding on a new president for the republic, in addition to other political issues to be discussed in subsequent sessions, including the establishment of a new electoral law and the commitment to not alter the Taif Agreement, which has become the constitution of the country, especially in light of recent discussions regarding changing the system. This situation prompted Sunni parliamentarians to meet and emphasize the necessity of preserving this agreement and implementing all its provisions.

The sources indicate that the dialogue table will address various issues, including the financial, economic, and social situation, how to face this crisis, and the necessity to implement reform laws in preparation for a new presidential term to take Lebanon out of its current state. The sources reveal that the dialogue sessions are set to begin next week, with invitations extended to parliamentary blocs and some political factions, including the Future Movement. They point out that the return of President Saad Hariri to Beirut is imminent, although no specific date or details about the steps he intends to take have been established, particularly regarding two crucial questions: will he return to political work, or will he remain withdrawn?

The sources note that Hariri's return will have an impact on the internal scene, which will witness significant and numerous challenges.
