Hezbollah and the Amal Movement have handed Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam the names of their minister picks in the new government and consultations will be held over the nominations, the pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Tuesday.
“It has become settled that the finance portfolio will go to the (Shiite) Duo and it was agreed with Salam to name ex-MP Yassine Jaber for it,” al-Akhbar said.
Informed sources meanwhile told the daily that “the labor and health portfolios will go to Hezbollah, while the Amal Movement will get environment and industry alongside finance.”
