Report: Cabinet Lineup to be Announced in a Few Days as Miqati Receives Arab Support

The cabinet would be announced within days, Najib Miqati’s circles said, stressing that the premier-designate received support from the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The 30-member cabinet line-up would include politicians, technocrats and independents, the circles told An Nahar daily in remarks published Sunday.

A solution to the demands of Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun is imminent, they said.

The circles added that the statement of the GCC foreign ministers meeting gave Arab support to Miqati.

On Thursday, the ministers said they were relieved at the statements made by Miqati, and expressed hope that the premier-designate would form a government that “meets the expectations of the Lebanese people.”
