Hariri: Government to be Formed This Week

W460

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri said Thursday that the new government “will be formed this week and not next week.”

“There are some small pending details and the government will bring together everyone,” Hariri added, in a chat with reporters at the Center House.

“Of course I will not dismay the Lebanese Forces,” the PM-designate said.

Hariri also urged media outlets to shun rumors that could create controversial debates.

The cabinet formation process has made significant progress in recent days amid concessions from several parties.

Hariri was tasked with forming the new government on May 24. His mission was hampered by political wrangling over shares, especially over the Christian and Druze seats.
