Raad: Govt. Lacking Real Representation of Country Components is Out of the Question

Head of Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Mohammed Raad on Sunday stressed that “the formation of a cabinet that does not reflect the real political weight of the country's main components is something totally out of the question."

Raad called on the political forces “not to commit a big mistake that might harm the country and hit society with further disintegration,” reiterating that Lebanon needs “a cabinet in which political forces are represented according to their parliamentary weight.”

“Let us put aside the debate over the one-third veto power and other issues, as the only way to achieve consensus and understanding is this representation in cabinet,” Raad said, adding that “any other approach means that the country is still hinging on foreign bets while we want the cabinet to reflect the honest national will.”

The Hizbullah lawmaker urged all Lebanese to "reconsider and reevaluate their calculations and thoroughly mull whether or not their bets have failed.”

“They must reassess their behavior towards their partners in the country and to agree with them on means to boost national unity and build a national strategy,” Raad added.
