Habib: Hezbollah impedes Cabinet formation

"Future" bloc member, Deputy Khoder Habib, stressed that Hezbollah was the one that obstructed the Cabinet formation. "Hezbollah is responsible for the Cabinet formation delay as result of its intervention in the Syrian crisis and setting preconditions, the third veto power and certain portfolios," the MP told "Voice of Lebanon" radio on Tuesday. He said that the caretaker Cabinet has entered its fifth month and no doubt that President Michel Sleiman and Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam's priority would be to hold consultations in order to form the united Cabinet. The MP called on Hezbollah to withdraw from Syria, adding that "the latest incidents in Lebanon were due to Hezbollah's intervention in the Syrian turmoil."
