The Free Patriotic Movement said on Monday that “the ball is in PM-designate Saad Hariri’s court now” after President Michel Aoun’s proposal to form a majoritarian government that raised criticism of several political parties, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Monday.

“Aoun’s proposal to lineup a majority government, if it is not possible to form a national unity Cabinet, does not aim to impose this option on anyone. It aims to find a solution after five months of delay,” FPM sources told the daily.

“The ball is in Hariri’s court now,” they added on condition of anonymity, explaining that he should “submit to related parties a government formula based on his convictions, and let parties who reject the formula stay out of it,” by choice.

President Michel Aoun has recently suggested that a "majority government" could be formed should some parties continue to insist on their demands.

Aoun’s controversial proposal came under fire by major parliamentary blocs.

The sources added to the daily that Aoun’s proposal aimed to reactivate the paused efforts, which explains a series of meetings between top officials despite the fact that no breakthrough has been recorded.

Hariri was tasked with forming a government on May 24, but his mission has since been delayed because of conflict between political parties mainly the Druze and Christian representation.
