Hariri Meets Daryan at Dar el-Fatwa
Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri visited Grand Mufti of the Republic Abdul Latif Daryan at Dar el-Fatwa on Saturday, amid reports that he plans to announce his resignation after the meeting.
But MTV television station said it is unlikely for Hariri to say he was stepping back from his post from Dar el-Fatwa
It said that Speaker Nabih Berri has requested the PM-designate to “wait a little longer” before taking such a step, amid stalled efforts to form a much-needed government in Lebanon.
The state-run National News Agency, said the two men held a closed-door meeting that lasted for half an hour. Afterwards, Hariri joined a meeting of the Higher Islamic Council.
Hariri's visit is presumably aimed at briefing the Mufti on the latest developments at the government level, reports said.
Media reports voiced concerns that the PM-designate could resign after a failure to reach an agreement with President Michel Aoun and his son-in-law MP Jebran Bassil on a cabinet line-up.
Several efforts to ease the obstacles have so far failed, including Berri's proposal for a 24-minister line-up based on the 8+8+8 formula.

They want a civil society but yet the first person the run to is a religious figure head. And that goes to all of them.

Another disgusting display of sectarianism which is the main culprit in destroying Lebanon. Once we have Rahi, then Kabalan, then now, Daryan showing the ugliest face of Lebanon, which politicians use to thrive and corrupt the land with. It's time for all these religious people stay in their homes and only tend to preaching people about God, especially this Hassan Nasralah, who destroyed the image of God by forming a group in his name, which kills at liberty and destroys anything it deals with. Lebanon should become a civil country based on meritocracy and nothing else, as the case is in all the democratic countries. Enough with agitating people based on religion. This has become a cheap and destructive tactic.
