NNA - Caretaker Minister of Justice Chakib Qortbawi urged the need to form imminently a Cabinet which would be able to face all the domestic security and political circumstances, particularly the influx of displaced Syrians.
"The existence of Cabinet alone does not change the reality of displaced Syrians; that requires a comprehensive plan which controls the influx and ensures the return of the displaced people to safe land in Syria," the Minister told "Voice of Lebanon" radio on Friday.
Qortbawi said that politics, all its levels, is determined by the Council of Ministers, while the Higher Defense Council meets to reconsider the security requirements and to coordinate among the security apparatuses at the request of the President and the Prime Minister, noting that "the current imposed situation on Lebanon calls the need for the Higher Defense Council to convene."
