Progress Reported in Govt. Formation Talks

W460

Progress has been made in the ongoing negotiations to form a new government, media reports said.

An-Nahar newspaper said the progress was especially reported following PM-designate Hassan Diab’s meetings with President Michel Aoun and the political aides of Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Speaker Nabih Berri.

“But the conferees decided to wait until after the New Year holiday to allow for further consultations, whether with those who have objections or with the components who back an agreement on the shape, shares and candidates of the government,” the daily added.

"the conferees decided to wait until after the New Year holiday"
Which new year? The way things are going it's very important to specify. At least give us a "formed by" year. 2030's looking good use that as your target.

President appointed Diab to form the government. Help me understand why berri and Hezbollah have to bless the government and not the newly appointed dude along with the head of state that assigned him to perform the task to form it.
