Between Aoun and Basil: Washing was not cleaned!

Danny Haddad – Special MTV website

Perhaps the meeting between the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun and the head of the Free National Movement, MP Gibran Bassil, is valid with “washing hearts”, although those who know the truth of the relationship between the two men realize that it has never been cleaned.

Basil’s request was not an appointment with the president linked to a specific file, even if he coincided with the case of the Casino Lebanon. The meeting witnessed very explicit words, from both sides, dealing with all the previous stages, and the stations witnessed by the relationship between them, which were never called honey, but it was not always bad as well.
The name Joseph Aoun was always attending in Basil’s sessions, in the post -17 October 2019 phase, blaming him with the responsibility of a large part of the campaign against him. This was reaching the arms of the army commander, until the jar was broken between them after a tripartite meeting in the Baabda Palace in the presence of President Michel Aoun. Bassil has also been to repeat, with some pride, that he was innocent of the responsibility of some appointments in the previous era, including the appointment of Joseph Aoun as commander of the army.
Basil realizes that in Baabda Palace today, those around the president, who is looking for a way to recover from him, especially since he was adept at removing some of those who think and keep some of those who implement, without thinking.
On the other hand, President Aoun knows well that the name of Gibran Bassil tops the list of bets on the failure of the covenant, and even that part of the “current” campaign in the upcoming parliamentary elections will be lighting, albeit indirectly, the inability of the covenant to achieve the achievements he promised.
Despite the above, Aoun and Basil agreed on a unified reading of the current developments, especially what relates to the file of Hezbollah’s weapon, the necessity of handing it over and the conditions for that, from the Israeli side. Basil came out of the palace that preserves all his angles, smiling and the two men made an evaluation session of the meeting with those close to them, and it was a direction to build on the meeting positively.

The strange thing is that what followed the meeting was not different from what preceded it. Criticism from the close of Basil, including members of the Media Committee, to the President of the Republic starting from his positions and receptions and does not end at the fashion of the first lady.
Hearts were washed, and they were not cleaned.
