Change and Reform: Our Participation in Cabinet Session Hinges on Consultations
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Change and Reform bloc did not announce on Tuesday whether it will attend Thursday's cabinet session at the Grand Serail.
Former Minister Salim Jreissati said: “Our participation in the meeting hinges on the consultations that will take place ahead of the session.”
He made his remarks after the bloc's weekly meeting.
“In order to reactivate the cabinet, we should have a government,” added Jreissati.
“Some members of cabinet should not usurp the government's decisions,” he continued.
The government is scheduled to meet on Thursday amid concerns that the Change and Reform bloc would not attend over its insistence to resolve the dispute over its decision-making mechanism and the disagreement over the security appointments.
The mechanism has been at the heart of disputes linked to the cabinet throughout 2015 in light of the vacuum in the presidency.
Lebanon has been without a head of a state since May 2014 when the term of Michel Suleiman ended without the election of a successor.
The vacuum has weighed heavily on the functioning of cabinet and parliament.

Jreissati: We are proud of Lebanon's stance at the Arab League summit in Cairo.
So is Iran.

Really humble! Hundreds of millions he received from Iran. Is that in Lira or Dollars? What about you @humble? Is it okay for you to follow fake hakim who got bought by untold millions of dollars by the Saudis and Qataris? Is it okay to follow a fake hakim that weighted prisoners down with cinder blocks and threw them into the ocean? Is it okay for you to follow a fake hakim that threw a child into a pit and covered him up with cement? I suppose when it comes to the LF, any thing is okay.

Great imagination? Know your stuff Justin! Fake hakim was also a culprit in the killing of his own brother in law.
Do your self a favor Justin and wash your hands from the Lebanese forces filth.

I learned from Milan Kundera that discussing with an idiot brings down the person to become another idiot.

The problem with the posters is that all Politicians are corrupt except those he support (who usually are from the same sect or support his/her sect).
Lebanon is like the parent betrayed by its children.
