Lebanon government takes shape
Print Edition
Lebanon yesterday announced the formation of a compromise government after a 10-month political vacuum during which the war in neighboring Syria exacerbated long-standing divisions.
The 24-member government brings together the powerful Shiite movement Hezbollah and its allies with the Sunni-led bloc of former prime minister Saad Hariri.
“After 10 months of efforts, of patience, a government protecting the national interest is born,” said Tammam Salam, Lebanon’s new prime minister.
“It is a unifying government and the best formula to allow Lebanon to confront challenges,” said Salam, who was tasked with forming the government back in April 2013, after the resignation of his predecessor Najib Miqati.
The announcement ends a political stalemate that left Lebanon without a government even as the conflict next door spilled over, with car and suicide bomb attacks striking Beirut and elsewhere.
