Kanaan: Christian Alliance, Reconciliation Won't Collapse
Change and Reform bloc secretary MP Ibrahim Kanaan has stressed that the reconciliation agreement between the Free Patriotic Movement and the Lebanese Forces “will not collapse.”
“A lot of people are trying to break the Christian alliance. They are the ones who will break. This alliance will not collapse and the reconciliation will not come to an end,” Kanaan emphasized.
LF leader Samir Geagea has recently announced that the LF-FPM agreement does not stand for blind applause for FPM chief Jebran Bassil’s actions, after the latter accused the LF of violating the terms of the 2016 Maarab agreement.
“An agreement means partnership and does not mean one party being at the disposal of the other,” Geagea said in an interview with al-Markazia news agency.
“Supporting the presidential tenure does not mean that one party, specifically Minister Bassil, would have the right to outline all policies as the other party claps for him and applauds him,” the LF leader explained.

Kanaan is part of a large group of FPM rank and file who want the FPM-LF alliance to succeed and are working hard to achieve this while Bassil and his tightly knit inner circle are working to scuttle it. Bassil was on board at the beginning until a series of scathing editorial in the Hezbollah rag Al-Akhbar attacking the FPM-LF deal and Bassil himself made him rethink his stance. To move forward Bassil is betting all his chips on Hezbollah's continued support rather than the support of the FPM rank and file and their wishes.

Bassil is an idiot who is hanging on his father in law's sleeve for anything he does. I wander how fast he will fade when the General die?
