Cabinet 'Won't Convene' before Resolving Row with KSA

Contacts and consultations among the Lebanese parties and with some Arab and foreign capitals are expected to intensify today with the return of Prime Minister Najib Miqati from the climate summit in Glasgow, media reports said.

The contacts aim to find a solution for the diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia and Cabinet will not convene before such an exit is found, al-Joumhouria newspaper quoted sources as saying.

“The premier and some concerned parties are insisting on Information Minister George Kordahi’s resignation to avoid an aggravation of the crisis with KSA in particular and most Gulf countries in general, whereas other parties are insisting that the man should not resign because they believe that he did not err as a minister and that his stance on Yemen’s war had been taken prior to his appointment as a minister,” the sources added.
