Berri Fears Cabinet Lineup Delay will Harm Lebanon
Speaker Nabih Berri expressed fear that delay in Cabinet formation will do Lebanon "enormous harm."
Berri said in comments published by several Beirut dailies that he "does not favor and does not want" to sever relations between MP Walid Jumblat and PM-designate Saad Hariri.
Berri ruled out the possibility that Hariri will bow out, stressing that he will continue his task to form a government of national unity.
The Speaker stressed that a 15-10-5 Cabinet lineup formula that had been agreed upon by the rival political camps "is there to stay."
