Report: Government Deadlock Could Be Resolved through National Dialogue
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Renewed efforts to form a new government are likely to gain momentum after the Eid al-Fitr holiday at the end of next week, reported the daily An Nahar Saturday.
Observers said however that should the deadlock between the rival political powers persist, the dispute could be resolved through national dialogue.
President Michel Suleiman has called on Thursday for the formation of a “balanced national cabinet that could achieve national interests.”
Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam's visitors meanwhile told An Nahar that he is not seeking the formation of a provocative government, reiterating his commitment to a “non-political centrist cabinet” that can help resolve disputes.
Should neither of these suggestions be fulfilled, the political powers could turn to national dialogue to eliminate obstacles that may result in the formation of a new cabinet, said the premier-designate's visitors.
Prime Minister Najib Miqati resigned in March and Salam was appointed to form a new government amid conflicting positions between the political powers.
The March 14 alliance is demanding forming an impartial cabinet, the March 8 forces is insisting on forming a political one, and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat objects to a cabinet that does not represent all Lebanese factions.

Once again mommy's Salam is shooting his mouth off. Does he not know that Dr. Arreet 7akeh, the mover and shaker... well... umm... duh... actually, a shaker mla2la2 khedou 3a tahwajeh and a mover of Drs. Arteena Satleh, the compatriot retards of planetary proportions, is against dialogue? And does mommy's Salam not know that he did not form a government zayi ma hiya and is not in mommy's lap as dictated by Dr. Arreet 7akeh's expired ultimatum three Fridays ago that Drs. Arteena Satleh are anxiously waiting to arrive? This Salam is a strange dude.

Can you people stop feeding the Lebanese useless rhetoric and get to some action? The refugees pose an immensely great risk to stability and are having their way with Lebanese citizens through various kidnappings, murder, and robbery, on top of the already existing forms of crime. These people can hardly sympathize with the public when they're so detached from the hardships of the country living in their mansions and yachts and jets at the expense of the taxpayer! Truly appalling.
