Hezbollah, Amal Movement demand quick govt. formation to address Lebanon crisis
News - Middle East - Lebanon: Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement and the Amal movement have called on new Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati to swiftly form a cabinet so as to end the political deadlock and address the ongoing socioeconomic crisis in the cash-strapped Arab country.
The two movements, in a joint statement released on Tuesday, underlined the need for the formation of a cabinet, and announced that such a measure would help stop the total collapse of the Lebanese economy and would tackle livelihood challenges right away.
Mikati secured enough votes in parliamentary consultations on Monday to be designated Lebanon’s next prime minister. He faces the difficult challenge of forming a viable government to tackle a financial crisis in the country.
On Tuesday, Mikati met with President Michel Aoun at Baabda Palace to brief him on the outcome of his non-binding consultations with various Lebanese parliamentary blocs regarding the formation of a new cabinet.
“The opinions were largely identical and, God willing, we will hold successive meetings in the next two days. We will hopefully see the government formed soon,” the new prime minister-designate said after the meeting.
