Hizballah Sets Deadline for New Lebanon Government
[Reuters] Nadim Ladki - Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday gave Lebanon's majority anti-Syrian coalition until mid-November to agree to the formation of a national unity government or face protests demanding new elections. He said Hizballah and its allies should have at least a third of the cabinet. The group, and Nabih Berri's Amal faction, currently have five ministers in the 24-member government. A third of votes in the government can block the passage of decisions in any cabinet vote.
