In this file photo taken on October 18, 2019, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri walks after giving an address at the government headquarters in the centre of the capital Beirut. The Arab Spring uprisings are nearly a decade-old and moribund but protests in Lebanon and three other new countries last year revealed that the spirit of the revolts that lit up 2011 is still alive. The countries swept up by the latest revolts had initially stood on the sidelines as a contagion of uprisings gripped countries in the Middle East and North Africa in 2011. But in 2019 they led calls for an end to the same regional economic precariousness, corruption, and unresponsive governance that fuelled the Arab protests years earlier. Marwan TAHTAH / AFP

The draft “abides by the French specifications,” the sources added.

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri will present a draft cabinet line-up to President Michel Aoun in the next 48 hours, media reports said.

“Hariri has prepared a list of candidates for an 18-minister mission government and will submit it to President Aoun,” highly informed political sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper in remarks published Sunday.

The draft “abides by the French specifications,” the sources added.

The PM-designate’s move is aimed at making a “breakthrough,” the sources went on to say, revealing that Hariri had announced this in a secret meeting with ex-PMs Fouad Saniora and Tammam Salam on Friday.

Ex-PM Najib Miqati did not attend the meeting due to his presence in London, the sources noted.
