Beirut - Arab Today
Lebanon acquired a new 30-minister government Sunday led by Saad Hariri, bringing together the entire political spectrum except for the Christian Phalangist party that rejected the portfolio it was offered. "This is a government of entente," Hariri said of the new line-up formed six weeks after the election of President Michel Aoun. New portfolios include an anti-corruption post and, for the first time, a minister of state for women. |
