Lebanon: Bassil Calls for Speeding Up Cabinet Formation

Bassil also said that the meeting had been an occasion to explain to Mikati the reason why the Strong Lebanon bloc did not support his designation to form a government.

“We’ve raised this issue with him, but we’ve also overcome this problem in light of the country’s current situation. We have no desire to participate in the government, but we have not yet met as a bloc to confirm the matter,” Bassil concluded.
