Hizbollah Site Staff, 03-10-2009

Labor Minister Mohammad Fneish, stressed in an interview with the Central Agency, that "The forthcoming government can only be a government of unity, partnership, cooperation and in accordance with the agreed upon 15-10-5 formula." He wondered "What shape does a formation of poles and technocrats have? Are there poles from outside the political center, and on what basis would these be classified?"

He added that "The task of forming the government rests with the Prime Minister-designate who within the framework of parliamentary consultations consulted with Hizbullah, and made known his position. If the situation requires further consultation we are ready to connect with him, since communication channels are open between us."

Fneish explained that "Opposition parties continue their constant consultations and conferring over the various developments," adding "I do not have specific set information or dates about whether the opposition will meet to discuss the government dossier before we enter the phase of portfolio and name distribution."
