Cold shower this evening concerning the file relating to the formation of the next government, with the words of a person close to Prime Minister Saad Hariri who indicates that the latter does not wish to see the president of the Free Patriotic Current Gebran Bassil.

Such a meeting, according to him, would not lead to any result, estimates this source which rather calls on Gébran Bassil to abandon his claims in favor of a blocking third party.

This information comes as the president of the chamber Nabih Berri and the former deputy Walid Joumblatt launched an initiative calling for the formation of a government of 24 members without blocking third parties, a proposal accepted by the presidency of the republic but that would refuse the prime minister-designate, sources say, who still prefers to form an 18-member government.
