Caretaker Minister of Information Melhem Riachi transmitted to President Michel Aoun a letter from head of the Lebanese Forces Samir Geagea, over the position of his party concerning the cabinet formation and its willingness to facilitate PM designate Saad Hariri’s task, “but within the acceptable minimum of the electoral size and the political weight”.
“The President informed me that granting a sovereign portfolio to the Lebanese Forces will be discussed with PM Hariri,” Riachi stated after his meeting with President Aoun in Baabda.
