Aoun, Hariri Agree to Meet Next Week amid 'Ongoing Consultations'

President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri have agreed to meet next week, presidency sources said.

“The decision whether or not to present a cabinet line-up belongs to the PM-designate,” the sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in remarks published Sunday.

Noting that “some parties are showing flexibility while others are showing intransigence,” the sources reassured that “the consultations are still ongoing and the atmosphere is not negative,” despite the war of words that has been raging for days.

The report comes in the wake of phone talks between Aoun and Hariri on Saturday.
