إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Although Hizbullah insists on the representation of Sunni MPs of March 8 in the government, it reportedly has no objection to naming a figure from outside the Consultative Gathering provided the six MPs accept this solution, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Wednesday.
Sources close to Hizbullah said the party “insists on not handing Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri the names of its ministers (as a pressure factor) until the Sunni MPs obstacles is solved. But the party does not mind naming a figure from outside the Consultative Gathering provided they agree,” they told the daily.
The new government was on the verge of formation on October 29 after the Lebanese Forces accepted the portfolios that were assigned to it but a last-minute hurdle over the representation of the pro-Hizbullah Sunni MPs surfaced.
The MPs are: MP Abdel-Rahim Mrad, Adnan Traboulsi, Qassem Hashem (Amal Movement parliamentary bloc) Walid Sukkarieh (Hizbullah parliamentary bloc), Jihad al-Samad and Faisal Karami belong to a bloc that includes the Marada Movement.
Hizbullah has insisted that the six Sunni MPs should be given a seat in the government, refraining from providing Hariri with the names of its three Shiite ministers in a bid to press him.

and how did Nassrallah become the most influential figure in Lebanon? Is it through personal power, respect, contribution to society or through his illegal weapons that he threatens to use against other sects/members of the Lebanese society.
I find it difficult to understand how a self proclaimed 'Christian from the West' advocates tyranny, terror, and thuggery.

nasralla the only real boss and this tiny piece of land reflects it. garbage in the street, no electricity, no running water except on the highways and bridges, growth in the minus, sewers backing up, rivers are filthy, drug lords running free.

it looks like they are choosing ibrahim awad who is close to hezbala, karame but also najib mikati and he's friendly to aoun and berri. he is supposed to be part of the president's share. so they wasted four weeks for nothing

"You're just missing the fact that technically is not Hizbollah that's 'insisting'"
In parallel, "Hezbollah" Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah insisted on the representation of the Sunnis of March 8 bloc in the cabinet, few hours after meeting with caretaker Foreign Affairs Minister Gebran Bassil.
In a televised speech on Saturday, Nasrallah said Hezbollah had informed the concerned parties that it would not accept a government that did not represent the “independent Sunni deputies."
