"We hope that Lebanese leaders consider forming the government as soon as possible in conjunction with the Lebanese Constitution and June 7 elections results." added Feltman.

Feltman also stressed his country's full commitment to Lebanon's sovereignty and independence as well as forming a cabinet according to the Lebanese Constitution.

"Only the Lebanese need to take decisions regarding their country," stressed Feltman. He also said that Deputy Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Moqdad who held talks last week in Washington agreed on the same stance where Washington discussed the Lebanese issues only to insist that Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese.
