Defense Minister to skip evening session as dispute over speaking rights continues: LBCI sources

Sources told LBCI that Defense Minister Michel Menassa will not attend the evening legislative session after no agreement was reached on allowing him to deliver his remarks.

The sources said uncertainty remains in Parliament over whether the session will continue when MPs reach the general amnesty bill or whether the lack of a quorum will bring the session to an end.
