Mikati sources warn of 'escalation' if Aoun stays in Baabda post term
The missions of the caretaker government are “clear before and after the end of the presidential term,” sources close to PM-designate Najib Mikati have said.
“There will be an escalation in the coming period should the way begin to be paved for the possibility of (President Michel) Aoun’s staying in the Baabda Palace following the end of his tenure,” the sources told al-Jadeed TV.
The sources also confirmed that Mikati had requested an appointment to meet with Aoun and that he was told that the answer would come “within two minutes.”
“But until this moment, the response to this request has not come,” the sources added.
