The Lebanese cabinet is currently holding a session at the Baabda Palace to discuss formulas for the policy statement. The ministers are currently discussing a formula suggested by Minister Ali Hassan Khalil. This as President Michel Sleiman hoped that the policy statement would be finalized today, noting that the cabinet should follow up on developments as the international community is ready to assist Lebanon.
Health Minister Wael Abou Faour stressed, in a phone call with LBCI prior to the session, that "last-minute efforts are being exerted to rescue the policy statement and the cabinet".
