The Ongoing Political Crisis
The Lebanese National Opposition reiterates its demands for a vetoing third in the government.
Hezbollah Monday accused the United States of obstructing a solution to end the political crisis in Lebanon. Hezbollah legislator Hussein Hajj Hassan said the main obstacle to the success of the ongoing negotiations between the Lebanese House Speaker Nabih Berri and the head of the parliamentary majority, Saad Hariri, was "the United States and its positions towards the Lebanese crisis."
"The US has not yet agreed that an internal consensus must emerge in Lebanon. It will continue its obstruction of efforts until it loses hope of succeeding in imposing its hegemony and dominance over Lebanon," Hajj Hassan said.
The Lebanese Opposition insists on its demands for a national unity government, which would grant them a veto power.
"There cannot be a settlement to the current crisis, unless a national unity is formed, with 19 ministers loyal to the majority and eleven to the opposition," another Hezbollah legislator, Hassan Fadlallah, said.

Comments on this journal
Anti-Syrian legislator Alaa Tero, who is loyal to Druze Leader Walid Jumblatt, said: "This is what the Syrians want the opposition to have - a veto power to block the formation of the international tribunal to try suspects in the (2005) assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri."
Despite the opposition's accusation, Berri, a member of the opposition, remained optimistic about finding a settlement to Lebanon's political crisis.
Berri was quoted as saying on Monday that the settlement was "inevitable" whether it would be reached before or at the upcoming Arab summit due to be held in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
But he warned that reaching a settlement would be "much more difficult after the summit."
