Mar Mikhael Agreement
Mar Mikhael Agreement (or Mar Mikhael Understanding or memorandum of understanding between the FPM and Hezbollah, Arabic: تفاهم مار مخايل) is a memorandum of understanding signed on 6 February 2006 between the Christian Michel Aoun, the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, and the Shiite Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, in the Mar Mikhael Church in Haret Hreik, in Dahieh, Lebanon. The agreement established an alliance that influenced and changed the Lebanese politics since then, establishing the two parties' common goals, including helping Aoun getting to the presidency in 2016, and in return the FPM giving Hezbollah a Christian political support, and a cover for its military presence, including their 2006 War with Israel.
In 2021, on the 15th anniversary of the MoU, the FPM said that its alliance with Hezbollah should be re-examined.
In January 2022, FPM President, Gebran Bassil, said in a televised speech he was not ready to end the Mar Mikhael agreement with Hezbollah, but it should be "improved" to meet new economic and financial challenges.

The memorandum called for a national dialogue, as the only solution to the problems in Lebanon. It also encouraged all that all political sides should engage in full transparency in all national matters, which requires a general consensus.
Consociational and consensus democracy is the basis of governing, as it represents the constitution and coexistence pact in Lebanon. The practice of "true democracy" and "majority-minority" remains dependent on the fulfillment of the historical and social conditions for the actual democratic practice in which the citizen becomes a self-standing value.
The reform and regularity of political life necessitates reliance on an electoral law, of which proportional representation may be one of its effective forms, in a way that guarantees the fairness of popular representation and contributes to the following:
To build a modern state that have the trust of its citizens and provides the safety of their present and future. One of the terms is relying on efficiency and justice (including judicial independence), respecting all constitutional institutions, and fighting corruption.
