March 14 Says Cabinet Would be Formed According to Hizbullah’s Wishes

A March 14 official has stressed that the new government would be shaped according to Hizbullah’s will unlike what the Shiite party leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has claimed.

In remarks to An Nahar newspaper on Sunday, the officials said: “The cabinet will not be as (Premier-designate Najib) Miqati wants it to be. It will surely be a government based on Hizbullah’s desires.”

The official said that Nasrallah did not talk about events in Syria in his TV address on Saturday.

March 14 general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid also said that the Hizbullah leader didn’t bring up the issue of the international tribunal and developments in Syria.

“He also avoided mentioning his problem with his allies Speaker Berri and Gen. Aoun, and MP Walid Jumblat,” Soaid said.

Furthermore, Nasrallah did not urge Miqati to speed up the formation of the government, the March 14 coordinator said.

“Nasrallah’s speech no longer scares the Lebanese,” Soaid told An Nahar.

Caretaker Labor Minister Butros Harb told Voice of Lebanon radio station on Sunday that Nasrallah should weigh his remarks before making any accusations against any side.
