Resolving the controversy, Major General Abbas Ibrahim will not return as Director General of Public Security, after the impossibility of extending him under the pretext that there is no legal excuse that allows this, but what is certain is that this impossibility results from the “veto” placed by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on that, and he worked to prevent him from being included in the list. Any legislative session, especially since the law was ready before the end of the term of the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun.
And sources accompanying the file confirm that, “President Berri intended to overburden the legislative session, which he was determined to call for with the aim of breaking its quorum until the extension law was passed, and he threw the ball in the court of the Council of Ministers, but the caretaker prime minister refused to seize it, so he held a government session that did not include within its provisions the extension decree.” The legal texts allowed him to extend for a period of one year if the decree was issued.
But after deciding on the impossibility of extending the question, who will succeed Major General Ibrahim? According to the laws, “the one who assumes the position is the highest-ranking officer, that is, the Maronite officer, Ramzi al-Rami, and what was promoted about putting Christian officers at disposal due to the arrival of the lowest-ranking Shiite officer, that is, Colonel Fawzi Shamoun or Musa Karneib, to the aforementioned position, is inaccurate talk, and it is in the opinion of the observers It will cause confusion and sectarian debate, especially after the prime minister’s speech about the number of Christians in Lebanon.”
Also, “setting any officer to act with this goal is a precedent that would apply to the rest of the first positions in the state.”
