Waste Dispute Paralyzes Cabinet as Kataeb opposes Treatment Plan
As the winter in storm retrieves, the ‘terrorist' storm that struck Paris two days ago shook the world hard. This took place while the British intelligence has warned that a terrorist group in Syria is preparing to launch a vast attack on Europe.
Meanwhile, the Syrian army achieves more successes in its battle with the takfiri terrorist groups, yet the ‘hits' of the international coalition in the battle against these groups remains unknown, with the Paris attack as proof to that.
In the midst of these developments, Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivers a speech on Friday, in a ceremony to the Islamic Charity association on the occasion of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) birth anniversary.
In this context, al-Binaa newspaper quoted political sources told the paper that Sayyed Nasrallah will deliver a live speech in which he will tackle the Future-Hizbullah dialogue and its goals, as well as the latest security developments in Lebanon and Syria.
For its part, al-Jomhouriya Lebanese daily noted that the Lebanese await a few ‘political addresses', the first of which the Patriarch BesharaRai will concentrate on the election of a new president, while the second figure to address the Lebanese is Hizbullah Secretary General.As for As-Safir, the paper viewed that the ‘French' storm will not calm down soon, comparing it to the New York 9/11 attacks. The paper underscored the necessity of questioning security and political figures as they had received threats prior to the attack, same as to what had happened in the twin tower attacks in 2001. Among the sides that warned the French were Syrian and Lebanese intelligence sources, that notified France there is a possibility a terrorist group coming back from Syria might conduct a terrorist attack inside its territories.
In this context, the paper added that the first message Lebanese intelligence apparatuses received after the Paris attack was "we were mistaken not to take your warnings and information seriously."
The Lebanese response was as follows: "Our information asserts that France will be subject to an attack even more immense than that which hit Paris's Charlie Hebdo last week."
In the same context, As-Safir concluded asking "Do the French think they are capable of fighting Daesh in Iraq, and when the battle reaches Syria they say that the war against terror is over? Can the French [officials] tell their people about France's role in arming and supporting the terrorist groups and facilitating their movement from Europe to Syria? Can they give an explanation to the recruitment of French terrorists and why the European attempt to contain them has failed?"
On another note, An-Nahar newspaper pointed out that the Lebanese government failed anew on Thursday to reach a solution to the crisis of solid waste management, which prompted Prime Minister Tammam Salam to adjourn the cabinet session following an extensive yet unfruitful debate. Salam had stressed that he "will not schedule another session unless a solution is found for the garbage crisis."
"The cabinet discussed the issue of solid waste and thoroughly discussed a report by the environment minister, but it was not able to reach a decision regarding this file and (Salam) decided to adjourn the session," Information Minister RamziJreij announced after a cabinet meeting at the Grand Serail.
On a different note, the Daily Star quoted a government source saying that "stricter entry requirements for Syrian nationals is "new territory" for Lebanon and will be followed up by re-evaluating the status of refugees registered with the UNHCR. The lack of political consensus over establishing formal camps for Syrian refugees in Lebanon played a part in the Interior Ministry's decision to enforce tighter measures regulating the entry of Syrian nationals, the paper quoted the source as saying, adding that "The policy was also reviewed by the ministerial committee managing the refugee file, but does not have Cabinet's official approval."
