Qaouq Calls for Seizing 'Real Chance' to Solve Govt. Crisis

W460

Hizbullah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Saturday noted that there is a “real chance” to resolve the political dispute that led to the suspension of Cabinet sessions.

“Prime Minister Najib Miqati is exerting continuous efforts to find the appropriate exits for the governmental issue,” Qaouq said at a ceremony in Sarafand.

“There is a real chance for addressing issues on the basis of resolving the reasons behind the paralysis, and those concerned must not waste this chance,” Qaouq urged.

Cabinet has not convened since October 14 over a dispute related to the investigations of Beirut port blast lead investigator Judge Tarek Bitar. Hizbullah, Amal Movement and the Marada Movement have called for the judge’s removal over alleged bias in his summonings and conduct.

Media reports have said that a possible solution could be based on limiting Bitar’s summonings and investigations to administrative and security officials as parliament moves to prosecute the accused former premier and ministers before the Higher Council for Trial of Presidents and Ministers.

This should put to rest any dispute who runs Lebanon. Everyday a "leading" member of the Hizbos make s statement or a press conference on some issue related to the country.
