Lebanon’s cabinet formation process has seen no positive developments and current complications are threatening to delay the creation of the new government until early 2019, local media reported Wednesday (August 29th).
"New hurdles are surfacing every day and the parties concerned are not announcing their true stances," al-Joumhouria newspaper reported Wednesday.
None of the parties have shown willingness to offer concessions regarding their demands, the daily said, "which more and more confirms that largely domestic reasons are behind the delay".
On Tuesday, Prime Minister-designate Saad al-Hariri warned he would "name the obstructors" if the government was not formed soon.
