Hizbullah and Harriri: A True Unity Government?

 The firing of two rockets from Lebanon into Israel  in response to Hariri's resignation from his PM post yesterday is an 'explosive' signal initiated from Damascus that no new goverment without Syria's conscent would be permitted. A week ago Iran sent signals to the west that if given the green light to pursue its nuclear ambitions it would leviate and stop meddling in other crises in the region; i.e Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon. Beirut is stuck once again in a regional tug of war game, with the fate of its government cabinet formation now lying at the heart of the conflict. Hariri will be reposted as primeminster with strong backing support from the majority, including Berri's vote, leaving Michel Aoun, once again cornered without a complete Hizbullah umbrella coverup. For it is Hizbullah that has suprisingly pushed for Hariri's re-nomination stressing the importance of partnership in a unity government. Gebran Bassil may have to sit on the sidelines, accept defeat, stand and support reform and change that his party preaches instead of trying to salk and sneak his way back in through the back door. March 8 has received enough concessions from the ruling party, with a 15-10-5 formula to their favor, a ministerial seat close to the president supported by hizbullah, and the re-election of Nabih Berri as the Speaker of the House. Not to mention the number of portfolios designated for the FPM and the blocking one third vote in government that was the root of this crisis three years ago. Hizbullah out of all parties concerned, seems to be emerging with a matured level of political manuevering, working to unite all parties with its powerful defiance to Israel this time through words not rockets. The firing of rockets into Israel these days is left to those groups trying to rise into Lebanons political arena as proxy tools while Hizbullah has passed the test and proved time and time again that it can comfortably enter through open doors.
