Reports: Timeframe Miqati Set for Himself Nearing Its End

W460

Parliamentary sources in the Strong Lebanon bloc have rejected the accusation against the bloc's head Jebran Bassil of obstructing the formation of the government.

The sources restated, in remarks published Monday in the PSP's al-Anbaa news portal, that “Bassil has not interfered in any way in the formation process.”

On the other hand, circles of Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati said that Miqati “is making every effort to form a government as quickly as possible.”

The circles added that “there are obstacles that must be resolved,” and that the time frame that Miqati had set is coming close to an end.

“Things will not continue as they are,” Miqati’s circles told al-Anbaa, affirming that they expect this week to be “decisive” for the government’s formation.

Meanwhile, al-Mustaqbal Movement Deputy head Mustafa Alloush said that the government’s formation remains “complicated,” accusing President Michel Aoun of “bargaining with the world” to lift the sanctions against Bassil in exchange for “releasing the country or keeping the blocking one-third."

Where are the EU and US sanctions they promised us two months ago ? It’s time to freeze all of their assets, visas for them and their relatives.

They keep denying, the fact that Gebran is 100% manipulating the government line up, behind the scenes. He and Aoun are on constant communication.

Aoun is a complete lunatic, and his son in outlaw a disgrace.
Mikati should resign and isolate Aoun.

Can't we have someone who is not so ugly like Miqati? We can't look at his face. Enough with tried and underdog PMs. New faces please!!! Abid looked the best; but, Hariri stifled his role because he feared that he might fix the country, when he was the one who governed for more than 8 years and did nothing. Hariri has no vision and only is fit to court women and have extramarital affairs. What happened to the hooker of South Africa who, he gave 25 million dollars, while our dollar at his bank are stuck?
