The cabinet session scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at the
Baabda Palace was postponed due to a lack of quorum after Minister of Displaced
Alaa Al-Din Terro failed to attend the session.
In this context, President Michel Sleiman tasked PM Najib Mikati
with calling Energy Minister Gebran Bassil to talk the Change and Reform bloc
into attending the session.
However, this call did not yield positive results
since Bassil confirmed to Mikati that his bloc will boycott both of Tuesday and
Wednesday sessions.
The cabinet’s General
Secretariat announced that the cabinet session scheduled for Wednesday at 9:30
am at the Grand Serail will be postponed to a
later date.
