Government 'Unlikely' to Be Formed Soon, Says Hizbullah

Hizbullah reportedly said a government is unlikely to be formed within the time limit pledged by PM-designate Saad Hariri in light of the obstacles hampering the process, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Friday.

“In light of the internal difficulties and obstacles hampering the formation, it is unlikely for the government to be formed within the ten-day time limit set by Hariri,” Hizbullah sources told the daily.

However the sources did not elaborate further.

Last week, Hariri had expected a Cabinet be formed within a week to ten days.

Hariri was designated on May 24 to form a new government, but his mission has since been delayed because of disagreements among political parties over shares and portfolios.
