Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam noted on Sunday that Lebanon is passing through a critical phase, hoping that all sides would exert efforts to avert escalating the tensions in the country.

He said before political, popular, social, and sports delegations: “Officials should assume their responsibilities in order to avert dangers against Lebanon.”

“This requires them to avoid tense rhetoric that fuels sectarianism, which is becoming a burden on our safety and country,” he remarked.

Salam's efforts to form a new government are ongoing.

He is seeking the formation of a cabinet of national interests that can stage the parliamentary elections.

The March 14 camp has meanwhile been demanding the formation of a neutral government, while its rival March 8 camp has been calling for the establishment of a political government.

the problem is that you have hizbushaitan and aoun that have been feeding sectarian rhetoric for months now, and the result is what we are seeing these days.
they want sunni to radicalize (even hizbushaitan is arming some salafis in Tripoli) to justify their existence. what can they do if they have moderates in front of them? how will they be able to mobilize their bases?
