Hizbullah Officials Warn over Continued Govt. Formation Delay

Senior Hizbullah officials warned Sunday over the possible economic repercussions from the continued delay in the cabinet formation process.

“It is not possible anymore to speak of optimism or pessimism over the cabinet formation file,” Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said.

“We don't know if the government will be formed in the near or distant future,” Qassem added, noting that “a new government is a popular demand and a real necessity.”

He added: “The country can neither run nor stabilize at the developmental and social levels and the economic issues cannot be addressed unless there is a government.”

Qassem's remarks were also echoed by Hizbullah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq.
