3rd Week Ends with No New Developments on Cabinet Formation
Third week of talks between Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri and various leaders ended with no major breakthrough in the formation of a national unity government.
An assessment meeting, however, is expected to take place later Saturday between Hariri and President Michel Suleiman.
Visitors quoted Suleiman as saying he reject the so-called "open-ended deadline."
Suleiman was also quoted as reiterating that he will only approve the formation of a national unity government "and nothing else."
The president urged the various political leaders to "make concessions for the sake of the nation."
