Prime Minister Najib Mikati indicated that calling for a cabinet session amid tense conditions and without securing a minimum level of understanding would exacerbate matters and complicate them further.
Addressing the second meeting of the Steering Committee tackling the “National Action Plan for the Implementation of UN Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security,” held at the Grand Serail, Mikati: “It is true that government work continues through the ministerial meetings that we hold, or through the ministries and the competent departments, but the suspension of the Council of Ministers’ meetings constitutes a fundamental gap that we are working to bridge quietly and deliberately, to bring the government back together, away from half-solutions.”
“Calling for a session of the Council of Ministers in the current tense conditions, and without securing the minimum level of understanding, would be like rubbing salt into the wound, as it would exacerbate matters and complicate them further.”
He added, “It is no longer time for obstruction, arrogance, or imposition of conditions and counter-conditions. The current state of collapse requires concerted efforts,” stressing that “everyone is asked to stop viewing the government as a bastion for useless political rams.”
