Hizbullah to Meet Bassil Prior to 'Serious' Govt. Formation Bid
A Hizbullah delegation will meet with Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Monday to inform him that “there is a decisive inclination” to form a new government, al-Liwaa newspaper said.
The daily added that a “serious attempt” to achieve a breakthrough in the formation efforts is expected on Tuesday, when PM-designate Najib Miqati will meet with President Michel Aoun.
There will be efforts to “convince President Aoun that he does not have the right to obtain the economy portfolio alongside the energy and social affairs portfolios,” al-Liwaa said.
