Change and Reform bloc lawmaker Alain Aoun has criticized the country's top officials for failing to coordinate with Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun when they struck a deal on the new government.

In an interview with An Nahar daily published on Saturday, Aoun said: “Had there been a true Christian partner from the beginning, they would have known that it has a different stance and the agreement would have been struck based on different principles.”

Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour on Friday rejected accusations of terrorism against Hizbullah, noting that the formation of a transitional government in Syria would be counterproductive.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif revealed on Friday that Hizbullah “took its own decision” to get involved in the Syrian war, urging all “foreign elements” to withdraw from the neighboring country.

A group suspected of links to al-Qaida warned Friday that all areas of Lebanon where Hizbullah operates are "legitimate targets" for attack, urging Sunnis to avoid them.

Several witnesses appeared before the court on Friday.

Caretaker Energy Minister Jebran Bassil stressed on Friday that the adoption of the concept of rotating ministerial portfolios in the upcoming cabinet hinders the Free Patriotic Movement's participation.

A scuffle erupted on Friday between Internal Security Forces deployed on the road leading to the Naameh landfill and protesters who tried to prevent Sukleen waste trucks from entering the area.
