(Reuters) Beirut - Mohammed Shukair Sources close to the former prime ministers welcomed religious and political leaders’ endeavor to spare Lebanon sectarian and confessional tension, as a result of the organized campaign led by former Minister Gebran Bassil to hamper the formation of a new government.
The sources affirmed that the former premiers have imposed a “political siege” against the former minister, who was “betting on his ability to evoke sectarian alignment to regain his role on the political arena.”
