Hamadeh Fears Extended Governmental Void Sparks Street Clashes
Caretaker Minister of Education, Marwan Hamadeh, said that external and internal factors were hindering the formation of a new government, calling for a compromise just after the New Year, the National News Agency reported on Thursday.
Warning against the void that could lead to clashes in the street, the Minister urged President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, to meet "away from pressuring sides and elaborate the government's headlines."
Interviewed by the Voice of Lebanon radio station, Hamadeh commented on the latest Israeli violation against Lebanon's sovereignty.
"The state must ask Hizbullah to implement resolution 1701 in order to be able to confront Israel and to encourage the international community to cooperate with Lebanon," he added.
