Report: Nasrallah ‘Dissatisfied’ with Bassil’s Govt. 'Initiative'
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has reportedly been “not too pleased” with an initiative made by Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil regarding the government formation, al-Liwaa daily reported on Saturday.
Nasrallah has reportedly described Bassil’s initiative as an “invention,” and expressed his “surprise at the way his ally used the government file; especially when he tried to sneak the name of Jawad Adra in accordance with Hariri; which caused embarrassment to all and prompted Nasrallah to blame (General Security chief Abbas) Ibrahim on the way he managed the file,” the daily quoted unnamed sources.
It added that “Hizbullah does not seem optimistic about the government formation,” pointing to some attempts “aiming to prolong the government impasse further.”
According to a senior Hizbullah source, “circles of the March 8 alliance expect Nasrallah to clearly define our position on everything going on in the government.”
He added that "President (Michel) Aoun is not in a position to allow (Prime Minister-designate Saad) Hariri and the rest of the parties to continue procrastinating in the formation of the government.”
