Syria Can End obstructing Third Issue
In an interview with Free Lebanon radio on Saturday, Environment Minister Tony Karam said that Syria and some Lebanese parties have an interest in delaying the formation of the cabinet and added that the Syrians can end the issue of the obstructing-third vote.
Karam stressed that a visit by Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri to Syria will be engaged for the opposition to withdraw their demands for an obstructing-third vote in the new cabinet.
He said that Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt is trying to act as a mediator between the majority and the opposition, and stressed that he remains one of the major figures within the March 14 alliance.
