A new Cabinet lineup proposed by Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri has opened the door for political developments – after the Opposition openly rejected the move, Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel also slammed the deal.
Gemayel said the Cabinet list leaked to the media “was not the one we had agreed upon both in terms of names and portfolios.”

Gemayel, however, said he would contact both President Michel Suleiman and Hariri to convey his rejection.

Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has slammed Hariri for proposing a Cabinet lineup that he says will only complicate the situation in Lebanon.

Hariri on Monday presented a 30-seat coalition Cabinet for the president’s approval, more than three months after the majority March 14 alliance won a general election, but the Opposition openly rejected the move.
