A meeting held over the weekend between President Michel Suleiman and al-Mustaqbal bloc leader MP Fouad Saniora ended with no results on the form of the new government, media reports said Tuesday.

Al-Liwaa daily said that Saniora visited Suleiman at Baabda palace on Sunday to inquire him on his latest call for an all-embracing government and the resumption of the national dialogue.

The Higher Defense Council lauded on Monday the “patriotic spirit” of the Lebanese that steered Lebanon away from strife after the latest bombings that rocked the country.

The Council “discussed the movement of the explosive situation from one area to the other in an attempt to create instability and insecurity,” said a statement read by Secretary-General Maj. Gen. Mohammed Kheir after a meeting held under President Michel Suleiman at Baabda Palace.

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam expressed surprise on Thursday over reports saying that a neutral de facto cabinet will be formed during the upcoming days.

Salam in comments published in As Safir newspaper stressed that he is following up with President Michel Suleiman and the concerned officials the process of government formation.

President Michel Suleiman has reportedly admonished Hizbullah for failing to coordinate with any party inside Lebanon before sending its members to Syria to support troops loyal to the Assad regime against the rebels.

“What happened is that the resistance went to Syria without coordinating with anyone,” officials, who have visited Suleiman, quoted him as saying.

The army intensified its search for the rocket launchers employed in the attack in the Baabda region on Thursday, reported An Nahar daily Saturday.

A security official told the daily: “Security agencies received information of a possibility of an attack taking place during the day when the army was commemorating Army Day.”

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun criticized on Friday the rocket attacks in the Baabda region on Thursday, saying that they were a message to President Michel Suleiman and the Lebanese army, reported al-Mada radio.

He told the radio: “It's true that I oppose Suleiman's views, but he should not be criticized in such a debased manner.”

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam denounced on Friday the Baabda rockets incident, describing it as a “dangerous and suspicious.”

“Targeting the areas that include national symbols is a new chapter in the series of suspicious security incidents across the country,” Salam said.

The Higher Defense Council tackled on Monday ways to support the armed forces and discussed the eradication of cannabis plantations in the eastern Bekaa Valley.

Discussions focused on “providing the army and the rest of the armed forces with their needs,” said a terse statement read by the council's Secretary-General Maj. Gen. Mohammed Kheir.

Caretaker Environment Minister Nazem al-Khoury said on Friday that President Michel Suleiman didn't set the date of the national dialogue session, stressing that his invitation is open-ended.

Al-Khoury told al-Joumhouria newspaper that the only way to resolve the country's crises and ease the tension is by resuming the dialogue.

Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam stressed on Thursday that he is seeking not to let down the Lebanese people and swiftly form his cabinet, despite the mounting conditions set by the rival parties.

“The formation of the government requires more attention and continuous efforts,” Salam told reporters after talks with President Michel Suleiman at the Baabda Palace.
