“Minimum terms, maximum cooperation” key to cabinet
Former Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in a statement on Monday that Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri”s mission to form the cabinet can only be achieved through "a minimum of conditions and maximum of cooperation."
Mikati said that if Lebanese political leaders truly wish the cabinet to be formed inside Lebanon, "as they repeat every day, then they should discuss the mechanisms to achieve this goal." Mikati said he was surprised how certain groups voiced support for Hariri”s mission, "while at the same time imposing preconditions."
