Saad Hariri has flown back to Lebanon yesterday night the 21st of November from Cairo. Today the political tensions are in a crisis peaked if no decision is engaged.\nThe first and the most simple option is that Michel Aoun accepts the resign letter from Saad Hariri. Consequently, a parliamentary consultation could then be opened and a new Government gathered. Giving the circumstances of the Saad Hariri nomination after 2 years without a prime minister in the country, this option might be temporary.\nThe second option is that Michel Aoun accepts the Saad Hariri resignation. In this case, the previous minister is not a candidate for his own position and the president has to name someone from his political party the \u00ab\u00a0Future Movement\u00a0\u00bb. After the Lebanese media, several names are announced but no one seems to be as consensual as Saad Hariri was. In this option, Michel Aoun has no choice then calming down the political tension and someone like Ashraf Rifi (previously head of intern security forces) might certainly not be nationally acclaimed.\nThe third option is that Saad Hariri is nominated by Michel Aoun as a first minister to address a new government without the Hezbollah. This option could be a good reason to calm down the Saudi anger against the Hezbollah. Moreover, the Arab league listed last week the Shiite movement as a \u00ab\u00a0terrorist group\u00a0\u00bb. On the other side, Iranians could be disappointed by the Lebanese decision and might decide to deteriorate his relationship with Lebanon.\nThe fourth and the last option is that Michel Aoun nominated a technocrat government. Economically, this option is seen as the best one to address the national issues as electricity, internet connection around the country, international investment to Lebanon, support to the banking system and the small enterprises. Indeed the economical option could satisfy Lebanese citizen but it will not solve the political problem of Lebanon in between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Moreover, a technocrat government means that the country could lose a part of his democratic asset.\nEcomnews Med staff continues to follow up the political process.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Lebanon :\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n","author":75,"featured_media":3386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,2961,5760,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5628],"class_list":["post-27680","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-institutions","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-lebanon"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Saad Hariri, the resigning first Minister just came back to Lebanon.
