Thursday’s Newspapers, Quick Summary

July 7, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Today’s newspapers are up on The Beirut Spring’s Newsstand.

The papers by and large focus on three stories: One is about the Christians & The Seniora government (read background here), with a particularly dramatic headline by Al-Akhbar, a newspaper that made a living out of inflating Aoun’s ego: “Christian Bitterness At Seniora Intensifies”. According to The Daily Star: “Aoun blames government for Christian ‘weekness’”.

The second story is about the Buzz of a potential Aoun-Hariri meeting. Interestingly, both Albalad and Annahar chose to ignore the first story and focus on this one instead, perhaps secretly hoping that the two would get along.

The third story is about the upcoming Paris meeting, where the head of the Arab League Amro Moussa Tells Annahar that it will move in parallel with the Arab Initiative.

Anyway, why don’t you take a look at the newspapers themselves in the Newsstand? Remember, if you like a story, all you have to do is click on the newspaper and you’ll be taken to the newspaper’s website..
