Prime Minister Najib Miqati told President Michel Aoun Friday that he will soon call for a Cabinet session and that things will return to normalcy.
For its part, the Presidency said that Aoun has been briefed by Miqati on the work of the ministerial panels and that "it has been decided to resume Cabinet sessions soon."
MP Ali Darwish, member of Miqati’s bloc, also told al-Jadeed TV that “it has been agreed that the Cabinet will convene,” adding that “it will be productive and positive,” and that “we need to prioritize people's needs.”
