NNA - No neutral cabinets are feasible after Taef, care-taker minister of State for Administrative Development, Muhammad Fneish, stated during the inauguration of a municipal Council in Jwayya/South Lebanon Sunday.
Top Amal-Hezbollah officials and local municipal party affiliates were also invited.
While rejecting out-of-hand the notion of any technocratic-led cabinet, Fneish reiterated the impossibility of forming a new government without reaching accord and consensus between various parliamentarian blocs. He reiterated need for immunizing the country against what he termed as "strife-ridden atmosphere in a bid to preserve domestic peace." The care-taker minister justified Hezbollah's sticking to a notion of a government made up of mainstream politicians on what he described as "thorough-going changes visited on the Lebanese political regime."
