Opposition Rules Out Cabinet Formation by End of September
The Opposition has ruled out formation of a new government by end of September, saying no progress has been made in talks between PM-designate Saad Hariri and Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun to resolve the Cabinet issue.
"The Cabinet crisis is still at a standstill," an Opposition ministerial source told the daily Al-Liwaa in remarks published Wednesday.
He said there was no breakthrough in Hariri-Aoun talks at the presidential palace "that we can say we are closer to finding the key to the birth of the future government."."
The source said it is likely that Lebanon will remain without a Cabinet at least until the end of September.
