Bassil: FPM Makes Sacrifices to Serve Lebanon's Interest
Foreign Minister and Free Patriotic Movement leader Jebran Bassil stated that the FPM makes sacrifices for the greater interest of Lebanon alone, as he assured that the delayed cabinet will eventually be formed, the National News Agency said Saturday.
“I assure you today that the government will be formed. You must put any delay in a simple equation which states that we are people who know well when to make sacrifices in favor of others in order to make Lebanon benefit,” said Bassil at the annual dinner held by the FPM-Byblos branch a day earlier.
The Minister reassured supporters that a delay in the formation of the cabinet was normal, since the country was not living through usual circumstances.
“This cabinet's mission is to hold legislative elections on time...and ministries do not belong to any one person or political movement, they belong to all Lebanese,” he said.
He concluded that the FPM made concessions for the greater good of the country and nothing else.

The constitution needs to be amended to include a clause that bans people under 130 cm from assuming public office.

God Speed Lebanon! I pray that President Aoun and Prime Minister Hariri resolve the issues that come with forming a united cabinet! A Cabinet that will actually perform for all the people of Lebanon! No need for a useless cabinet... We need a government that will be unified in providing jobs and security for all Lebanese!

I'm glad at least you pointed that out, and in reality is a sad reflection on Lebanon as they are now for letting all this nonsense get this far.
