Caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour denounced on Saturday Israeli violations of Lebanon's airspace, considering that they come in context of the continuous aggressive acts that violates the country's sovereignty.

“These violations will not change Israel's violent nature that we are used to,” Mansour said.

President Michel Suleiman is expected to hold talks on the government formation process with Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam upon his return to Lebanon next week, reported al-Liwaa newspaper Saturday.

Informed sources told the daily that the president is set to propose to Salam three government formulas to study.

President Michel Suleiman urged the international community on Friday to pressure Israel to stop violating Lebanese airspace, saying its activities breach the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.

Suleiman's condemnation comes after Israeli warplanes flew over Lebanese territories earlier on Friday.

The Committee of Muslim Scholars lashed out on Friday at Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel after he signed last month the civil marriage certificate of Kholoud Succariyeh and Nidal Darwish.

The scholars considered in a statement inking the certificate a “clear violation of the constitution, the laws of personal affairs and all the laws that are linked to the matter.”

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam is committed to the formation of a political 24-minister government capable of staging the parliamentary elections and which none of the political powers would enjoy a blocking minority, reported the daily al-Joumhouria Friday.

It said that the new cabinet would distribute portfolios equally between the March 8 and 14 camps, with centrists also enjoying the same number of ministers, whereby each of the camps would obtain eight ministers.

Christian leaders are expected to hold talks in Bkirki under the auspices of Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi to coordinate their stance over the electoral law dispute.

According to An Nahar newspaper published on Friday, the meeting will be held ahead of a parliamentary session set on May 15 to vote on the Orthodox Gathering proposal that was approved by the joint parliamentary committees.

President Michel Suleiman rejected on Wednesday granting the blocking third to any party, expressing reservations over the rejection of adopting rotational portfolios in the formation of cabinet.

“If the government included a blocking third it might reject the formation of a special committee in charge of overseeing the parliamentary elections and thus postpone further the polls,” Suleiman said in an interview with An Nahar newspaper.

President Michel Suleiman tasked on Tuesday the Central Inspection Authority to investigate the causes of the malfunctions of the “Fatmagul Sultan” power-generating vessel.

He tasked the authority to uncover the circumstances that led to the malfunctions and determine the sides responsible for it.

President Michel Suleiman condemned on Tuesday the failed assassination attempt against Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi and the car bombing in front of the Syrian Interior Ministry in Damascus' Marjeh district on Tuesday.

He said: “Dialogue among all parties is necessary to reach a political solution that will lead to national reconciliation in Syria.”

Speaker Nabih Berri slammed on Tuesday Lebanese officials for seeking to adopt an electoral law that help them achieve the parliamentary majority, pointing out that the cabinet could be formed ahead of a parliamentary session set to be held on May 15.

Berri said in comments published in As Safir newspaper that his hybrid electoral law proposal calls for electing half of the lawmakers in the new parliament based on the winner-takes-all system, with the other half elected under the proportional representation system and 26 districts.
