Information Minister Walid Daouq said on Monday that the ministerial committee responsible for drafting the ministerial statement did not discuss the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), but focused on social, financial and economic sectors, according to the National News Agency.
Daouq said that the committee will meet on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m., the NNA added.
However, it did not elaborate any further.
The new Lebanese cabinet—headed by Prime Minister Najib Mikati—was formed last week after almost five months of deliberations between the March 8 parties.
Before bringing down Saad Hariri’s cabinet in January, Hezbollah had been pressing him to disavow the STL, which is probing the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri and likely to implicate members of the Shia group.
