Britain’s Ambassador Hopes for Quick Formation of Cabinet

British Ambassador Frances Mary Guy hoped on Saturday that the cabinet would be formed soon and said that Lebanon is the most stable country in the Middle East.

During a tour to Hasbaya, Guy said: “This country is the most stable now in the region and it is badly in need for a government which we would like to see tomorrow or after tomorrow.”

She hoped that south Lebanon would remain calm and the incidents that took place during Nakba Day would not happen again.

Her comment came a day after Palestinian organizers who had planned a march to the border with Israel on Sunday cancelled their move.

The organizers said the march marking the 1967 Arab-Israeli war's anniversary would be replaced by strikes across all of Lebanon's 12 Palestinian refugee camps.

On Nakba Day on May 15, Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians who marched to Israel's borders with Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank. Six people were killed in Lebanon.
