The Dahr al-Bidar truck case was not closed by withdrawing the proposal to refer it to the Judicial Council from a cycle in the Council of Ministers last Thursday, but entered a more ambiguous phase. Failure to present a referral does not mean its complete cancellation, and the understanding between President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, and Speaker of Parliament Navia Berri, in coordination with Hezbollah, did not resolve the root of the dispute, but prevented it from turning into an open internal conflict at that moment. In this sense, the settlement was not an agreement to handle the case as much as it was an agreement to dismiss it. The escalation was halted following political contacts that included, according to information, the Saudi side through the envoy Yazid bin Farhan, while Shabri played a central role in preventing the outbreak of discord within the government. What was required was to overcome the immediate impasse and pass the "disconnection", without this meaning that the factors that pushed for the referral would abandon their goal.
