Miqati Says No Link Between Port Probe, Cabinet Sessions Resumption

The press office of Prime Minister Najib Miqati denied Tuesday news about solving the political crisis by dismissing port blast investigator Judge Tarek Bitar in order to resume the Cabinet sessions in return.

“The prime minister refutes these news,” the statement said, adding that Miqati’s solution map stresses that “there shouldn’t be any political interference with the judiciary’s work.”

The statement emphasized that “there is no link between the resumption of Cabinet sessions and the judicial investigation into the Beirut port blast.”
