Al-Mustaqbal: Hariri Won’t Step Down
After Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri declared that he is going to take a final decision on the stalled government formation, al-Mustaqbal Movement stressed that the Premier “is not planning to step down,” al-Joumhouria daily reported on Saturday.
“Stepping down is out of question at the current stage. Genuinely, there are several endeavors that could ease the government impasse,” al-Mustaqbal sources told the daily.
However, they assured that the representation of the Consultative Gathering is the “real stalemate hampering the formation.”
Hariri’s latest announcement that he is going to make a “final decision” next week has been subject to debate, amid reports interpreting his statement as an intention to step down shall the consultations reach a dead end.
Sources close to Hariri said: “His recent contacts have led to the fact that everyone is convinced about the need to form the government, given the current situation.”
