Lebanon’s new PM designate says govt will be formed within a six-week period
Lebanon’s new Hezbollah-backed Prime Minister Designate Hassan Diab said in an interview with Deutsche Welle he will work on forming a government within a period that does not exceed six weeks to help pull the country out of a deepening economic and political crisis.
Diab, an academic and former education minister, was designated on Thursday as the country’s next prime minister with the support of Iran-backed Hezbollah and its allies.
“Previous governments in the last decade took a year to form and I seek to form a government in the next four weeks or a period that does not exceed six weeks,” Diab said.
