Report: Hizbullah, Amal Refuse to Change Stance on Cabinet Boycott

W460

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.

The Shias can do that simply because they have weapons to 'fight' Israel and liberate Palestine!

Not sure why the lebanese, the ruling class, the baks, the central bank has this fascination with the LL. It's a worthless currency, everything is quoted and talked in USD. Every time I get to watch any tv show, be it news, auto show, comedy,health, etc... everything and everyone talks in USD.

So why don't they scrap it and go fully USD as local currency. I am sure there is some mechanism that needs to be followed to achieve that. other countries have done. Ask Ecaudor.
