Ongoing Paralysis as No Cabinet Session Looming in Horizon
Hopes to hold a cabinet session soon are dissipating as majority ministerial sources confirmed that efforts by President Michel Suleiman and Premier Saad Hariri to call for a government meeting are still hindered.
The sources told al-Mustaqbal newspaper that Suleiman and Hariri will renew efforts to hold a session whose agenda includes more than 500 items.
However, "there is no hope for success," they said.
Other sources also confirmed to An Nahar daily that contacts between officials, including Speaker Nabih Berri, to end the crisis over the March 8 forces' insistence to have the false witnesses issue at the top of the agenda are ongoing.
Well-informed sources lamented to al-Liwaa daily that agreement on social issues within the cabinet are facing the obstacle of political bickering over false witnesses.
