BEIRUT (Dispatches) -- Lebanon’s Prime Minister-designate Saad al-Hariri on Wednesday presented a cabinet lineup to President Michel Aoun, in a move that could end a crippling political and economic crisis.
Hariri met Aoun at the presidential palace in Baabda, and presented a 24-member cabinet proposal to the president. “For me this government can start to rescue the country and stop the collapse,” Hariri told reporters after the meeting. He said he is awaiting Aoun’s response on Thursday.
