The Lebanese presidency will be discussed during separate visits by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif and Deputy Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Bin Salman to France late in June, An Nahar daily reported on Saturday.
Paris,which began preparations for the visit of its Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault to Beirut on the tenth of July, is seeking to further consultations with the regional and international powers to push towards helping Lebanon out of the political impasse linked to disruption of the election of a president for more than two years now, according to the daily.
In a somewhat related development Wiam Wahhab, a close ally of Syria and Hezbollah told Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel Aoun that he has an “authorization” from Hezbollah to negotiate with former Lebanese PM and Future movement leader Saad Hariri over the latter’s possible return to the premiership under the country’s next president.
Daily Star.com.lb BEIRUT: The Labor Ministry Thursday vowed to protect the Lebanese workforce, warning that it would take legal action against the recent dismissal of Lebanese employees working for international companies in the country. In a statement, the ministry said it had recently received requests from international organizations wishing to fire hundreds of Lebanese nationals. These organizations included Relief International, service company OSSC, Awtar restaurant, Save the Children and the Danish Refugee Council. “Last week, the ministry received requests from Save the Children and the Danish Refugee Council in Lebanon to let go of a large portion of their Lebanese workers without giving any reasons,” the statement said. It added that Save the Children had already dismissed 280 Lebanese from a total of 585 workers and the Danish Refugee Council had fired 386 Lebanese from its 728 workers. The ministry said that hotels were also letting go of their Lebanese workforce. The Labor Ministry condemned what it said was a “deliberate replacement of Lebanese workers” with foreigners, particularly Syrian nationals, warning the organizations of taking necessary legal measures to protect the Lebanese labor force.

Beirut: Phalange Party leader Sami Gemayel pulled two ministers out of Prime Minister Tammam Salam’s cabinet, as Sejaan Qazzi (Labour) and Alain Hakim (Economy) joined Ashraf Rifi (Justice), who quit on February 21 to protest cabinet procrastination in referring the case of former Minister of Information Michel Samaha to the Judicial Council.
“The Phalange Party has decided to resign from the government because Lebanon needs a ‘positive shock’,” Gemayel affirmed at a carefully staged press conference, and rejected what he termed “cabinet mechanisms” that stifled objections, which apparently prevented classic deal-makings.
Flanked by Qazzi and Hakim, Gemayel attacked ministers who, he claimed, were not concerned with the protection of the banking sector against regular verbal attacks — presumably by Hezbollah officials against Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh — and showed little interest in the plan submitted by the Minister of Economy to revitalise the sector. Gemayel did not mince his words when he declared that ministers “are only concerned with passing suspicious deals,” which may have been in reference to the waste disposal solution that was agreed to after an eight-month-long ordeal that left Beirut and Mount Lebanon reeking in garbage.
