Reports: Miqati Urged to Postpone Line-Up Submission
Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati “had made up his mind and was intending to present a new cabinet line-up to President Michel Aoun” on Tuesday, according to media sources.
The sources told al-Liwaa newspaper, in remarks published Wednesday, that “local parties including Hizbullah have contacted Miqati to convince him to give more time for solving the conflicts and finding common ground with Aoun,” before deciding on the line-up.
The sources added that “a remarkable French drive was meanwhile urging Miqati to intensify consultations and give a few additional days before making a final decision concerning the line-up.”
At the same time French diplomats are “encouraging Miqati to continue his mission,” according to the sources.
