Lebanonقs PM-designate bids to form much-delayed cabinet July 28 2021 12:27 AM
Text Size: AFP/ Beirut Lebanon’s new prime minister-designate Najib Mikati yesterday held consultations with political parties that he said “unanimously” agreed on the need to put together a government quickly to rescue the crisis-hit country.
But he faces an uphill battle after nearly a year of extreme drift, an economic crisis described by the World Bank as one of the world’s worst since the 1850s and continued squabbling among political players. The United States issued a call yesterday for Mikati “to quickly form a government that’s empowered and a government that’s also committed to implementing critical reforms”. Mikati, a billionaire who has already twice served as prime minister, took on the task on Monday, days after fellow veteran politician Saad Hariri threw in the towel.
