President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, met Deputy Parliament Speaker, MP Elias Bou Saab, today at the Presidential Palace.
Deputy Speaker Bou Saab asserted that the American mediator in demarcating the southern maritime borders, Amos Hochstein, will visit Lebanon at the end of this week, without this meaning that the visit will carry the solution.
“However the visit will be an additional positive step towards a solution, and we must know that this issue is thorny and complex, but it is moving in the right direction” Deputy Speaker Bou Saab said.
Deputy Speaker Bou Saab also briefed President Aoun on the contacts that are taking place with Hochstein on this file, and said that “September will be decisive, and if it turns out that the Israeli side will remain stubborn and not wanting a solution, there are other options for Lebanon, because we are all keen on preserving Lebanese rights by all means and at the appropriate time”.
On the other hand, the Deputy Speaker stressed that the Supreme Judicial Council and its head, Judge Souhail Abboud, should bear the responsibility for not taking a decision on the formation of the Court of Cassation, as it leads to obstruction of many issues, files and solutions.
Deputy Speaker Bou Saab also criticized the attack that was launched on the Presidency of the Republic and President Aoun, inquiring about the timing and whether there was a deal to give innocence to the corrupt and hold the presidential term fully responsible.
