Report: Hizbullah, Amal Refuse to Change Stance on Cabinet Boycott
The stance of Hizbullah and Amal Movement on not taking part in Cabinet sessions before the removal of Judge Tarek Bitar has not changed, a media report said on Thursday.
Prime Minister Najib Miqati is in the picture of this stance, al-Joumhouria newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources.
“This stance was further explored over the past days and there were pleadings aimed at softening the (Shiite) duo’s position but they have all failed,” the daily added.
“The response was a confirmation that participation hinges on eliminating the reasons behind Cabinet’s boycott: the recusal of Judge Bitar in the port case,” the newspaper said.
