REPORT: Lebanon PM: Current political atmosphere obstructing solutions for waste crisis

Lebanese Prime Minister Tamman Salam blamed the country's "current political atmosphere", citing it as the main obstacle preventing the proposition of solutions to Lebanon's crippling waste crisis.

Following Wednesday's cabinet session, Information Minister Ramzi Jreij quoted the Premiere as saying that interim solutions concerning the waste crisis are set to take shape within the upcoming days, and will be proposed before the concerned ministerial committee for discussion.

Following Wednesday's cabinet session, Jreij revealed that one of the temporary options is the exportation of garbage to foreign countries.

Regarding military and administrative appointments, Labor Minister Sejaan Azzi said that several names were proposed throughout the session, but a vote failed to be held, adding that the file was delayed until further notice.

Prior to the session, Minister Mohammed Mashnouq said that the choice of exporting waste is “serious as a temporary solution pending the end of tenders.”

For his part, Minister of Interior Nouhad Mashnouq said that Minister of Defense Samir Moqbel is poised to suggest a solution for the urgent issue pertaining to the appointment of a new Army chief of staff.
 
The posts of high-ranking military and security officials are a source of dispute among cabinet members, mainly the Free Patriotic Movement and Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
 
The FPM's ministers have reiterated that the issue should be a top priority at cabinet sessions because they consider the extension of the officials' mandates illegitimate.
