This comes after 13 of the security forces and 7 prisoners tested positive for COVID-19.

This prison is "officially" at 200% + of its capacity. 2/

From what I'm seeing, FPM, Hezbullah, and Amal might not participate in the new government.

But, the other part (what used to be called 14th March) is hesitant to form a government without them because they have no guarantees they won't fail.

The USA sanctions literally destroyed all efforts to form this government and made some stubborn to get some positions as a challenge to the USA sanctions.

Today is Sunday, and 15 September is in 2 days. Miracles don't happen.

As I mentioned above Berri insists on making the finance ministry for the Shia sect as a balance of power in the light of the distribution of other seats for other sects, yet others between 8 and 14 March claim this is not constitutional.

That's true, but neither is the rule that says that the army commander, president, and central bank governor should of be Christian, nor the PM a Sunni...etc.

Berri is simply playing the same sectarian game that others are playing. He sees it as his right if others are doing so

Back post 1992 he once said" If all sects are taking part of the cake, I want my part too". This is how the system is built and Berri is allegedly trying to preserve the right of his misrepresented sect.

But why now?

After Taef deal, the 1st and 2nd governments were of Shia ministers for the finance ministry, but then Berri gave it up after guarantees fr the Syrians who gave it to Rafic Al Hariri.

It stayed with Rafic and then his party till the recent years, when Berri found himself with no more guarantees and the fear of some parties having more power than what they represent. End

IDF jets are flying over Lebanon, illegally and against its sovereignty, at very high altitudes. https://t.co/7zonANdAgV

It's an ugly situation, and unless we stop all preconditions (of belonging to a sect) to get a seat, this rhetoric will continue.

General Jamil Al Sayed:

"The government ?!

The French initiative stipulated the formation of a government that curb corruption in exchange for financial support.

USA added the condition that Lebanon accepts the border demarcation in Israel's interest."

Parliament speaker Berri represents Hezbullah in the border negotiations. Them and Berri won't give up one inch of Lebanon in favor of Israel.

The sound over the villages of south Lebanon.

The General Assembly of the UN votes overwhelmingly to call on member states for more cooperation and solidarity in times of pandemic #COVID19 and for an end to unilateral sanctions and blockades.

Adwan to MTV: The current conditions, which we have not seen in 15 years, allow the PM-designate to form an independent government of specialists.

88-90 soldiers from the peacekeepers (UNIFIL) operating in southern Lebanon were infected with the Coronavirus, most of them from the Ghanaian battalion.

Yesterday 22 cases were recorded between the UNIFIL Forces. https://t.co/vF3hqJB647

Mr expert in putting out fires, ever heard when you flip the burnt material and water touches it it smokes like this?

There was no new fire yesterday, the civil defense was flipping the burnt material to cool it down.

Amateur mawkish reporting. https://t.co/YkB2rV6xmQ

Two hours ago:

The Israeli enemy’s jets performed mock raids over the villages of Iqlim al-Tuffah and Sidon, and then flew at low altitude over the villages of western Bekaa.

IDF understands exactly why this was posted today by Hezbullah's military media.

"Do not attempt to do anything foolish, you'll regret it. Do not attempt to strike in Lebanon or kill anyone more, you'll regret it. We know what you are thinking, do not do it." https://t.co/KYNY3UlrkB

"That message was in 2015 when Hezbullah had 10's of thousands in Syria. Today they are all in Lebanon. IDF, do not make a mistake or you'll regret it."
