Miqati Welcomes Hizbullah and Amal's Return to Cabinet

Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Saturday swiftly welcomed the announcement by Hizbullah and the Amal Movement that they will resume their participation in Cabinet sessions.

“This meets the repeated calls made by the premier for everyone’s participation in shouldering national responsibility, especially amid this critical situation that the country is going through, and in a manner that preserves the National Pact,” Miqati’s office said in a statement.

The statement noted that Miqati will call for a Cabinet meeting once he receives the draft state budget from the Finance Ministry, lauding “the efforts that are being exerted by all ministers to implement what was mentioned in the ministerial statement.”

Miqati also held phone talks with President Michel Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri in the wake of Hizbullah and Amal’s announcement, according to his press office.
