U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams ruled out and Israeli attack on Lebanon, noting that Lebanon is the only country around the world that its sovereignty is being violated on a daily basis.

Williams told al-Joumhouria newspaper on Thursday that Lebanon’s commitment to Security Council resolution 1701 was flawless, praising the current and previous Prime Ministers’ commitment to the international resolutions.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati has said that the cabinet made a very important achievement for the state and the citizen to gradually provide 24 hour electricity to the country.

“I'm relieved: Lebanon will gradually get Power 24/7. Objective: better public utilities & services at lower prices,” he tweeted on Wednesday after the government approved the controversial electricity project.

Premier Najib Miqati’s cabinet overcame on Wednesday the most difficult test that it confronted two months after receiving parliament’s vote of confidence as it approved an electricity project to generate 700 Megawatts of electricity.

However, the cabinet session held at the Baabda palace wasn’t free of wrangling mainly between Miqati and Energy Minister Jebran Bassil who had proposed the plan.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Wednesday asked France and other world powers why doesn’t the international community force “the implementation of resolutions issued by the U.N. Security Council in order to strip Hizbullah of excuses” to possess arms, LBC television reported.

LBC quoted al-Rahi as saying that “Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must be given a chance because he is implementing reforms in Syria.”

Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s government approved Wednesday an electricity plan proposed by Energy and Water Minister Jebran Bassil, “agreeing that it would be funded through four annual installments beginning in 2011 and ending in 2014,” Finance Minister Mohammed Safadi announced.

The plan entails the allocation of $1.2 billion to the energy and water ministry to generate 700 Megawatts of electricity.

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon Defense Office published on Wednesday the List of Counsel, it announced in a statement.

“Currently, 120 have been admitted to the List, out of a total of 145 applicants. One hundred and eighteen names have been made public, along with information about the primary jurisdiction in which they are admitted,” it revealed.

Hizbullah deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem stated on Wednesday that the Mustaqbal movement and the March 14 camp are experiencing a period of low morale over former Premier Saad Hariri’s presence abroad, their failure in tackling social, economic, and political affairs, and the withdrawal of a number of officials from the camp’s ranks.

He said: “Their failures have forced them to point blame at other sides and this strategy will in turn backfire against them and lead to more losses within their ranks.”

United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams underscored on Wednesday the importance of maintaining stability in Lebanon and protecting the country from events in neighboring Syria.

He said after holding talks with Interior Minister Marwan Charbel: “There needs to be political consensus that what happens in Syria is not allowed to affect Lebanon.”

The March 14 General Secretariat criticized on Wednesday Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s “deceptive” statements over Lebanon’s commitment to fund the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, saying that the Lebanese people want the tribunal to be funded.

It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “We urge the Miqati government to immediately take the initiative and have Lebanon pay its dues in funding the STL, which the government said that it supports ‘in principle’.”

Speaker Nabih Berri confirmed on Wednesday that the cabinet would approve the electricity project by consensus and would not resort to voting during its session scheduled to be held at Baabda palace.

In remarks to al-Joumhouria daily, Berri said: “The electricity draft law will be approved through consensus by the cabinet. There won’t be any voting because voting would lead to differences inside parliament.”
