New Government Will Soon Be Born with No Veto, No Neutral Minister
Speaker Nabih Berri said a new government will "soon" be announced without veto power or a so-called "neutral" minister.
"A new government will soon be born with neither a one-third blocking (vote) nor a neutral minister," Berri said in remarks published Friday by pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat.
"We have entered true partnership with a national government based on trust among the parties and faith that the President is not a party," he added.
Berri stressed that he is "playing the role of facilitator" in the Cabinet lineup.
He said that some of the credit for positive developments goes to Syrian-Saudi harmony.
