Report: Mikati preparing for electricity cabinet session

Cabinet will convene but caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati is keen on calling for it when the political climate is calm, his circles said.

The sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Monday, that Mikati does not want to further complicate the situation and that he will make all the needed calls and consultations in the coming days in order to hold a cabinet session that could only discuss the electricity file.

"Mikati is counting on Hezbollah's participation in the session," the sources said, adding that Hezbollah is torn between securing the session's quorum in order to solve the fuel ships problem and containing the recent rift with the Free Patriotic Movement.
