Report: Salam to Reject Cabinet Resignations
Prime Minister Tammam Salam has reportedly stressed that he would reject possible resignations by cabinet ministers over the dispute on the mandates of senior security officers.
Al-Liwaa daily on Friday quoted a ministerial source as saying that Salam has been clear on rejecting the resignations if the ministers loyal to Hizbullah and Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun took such a move.
MP Aoun is scheduled to hold a press conference in Rabieh on Friday to announce his next move.
He has been calling on the appointment of new officials and has rejected outright the extension of the mandates of the army and police chiefs.
Though it is not clear if Aoun would announce the resignation of his ministers if the cabinet failed to make new appointments, there have been many reports that he could resort to such an option.
