STORYLINE
Lebanese lawmakers overwhelmingly re-elected the pro-Hezbollah parliament speaker on Thursday, despite the Iranian-backed militant group's recent election losses.
The move to re-elect Nabih Berri signalled the political factions' determination to work together toward a unity government.
The 7 June parliamentary election was a victory for the Western-backed ruling coalition, which fought off a strong challenge from the militant group Hezbollah and its allies.
Parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri, who has backed Berri, is expected to be named as Lebanon's next prime minister.
Berri has ran largely unopposed since he first held the post in 1992.
Celebratory gunfire and fireworks erupted on the streets after he won 90 votes in the 128-member legislature during Thursday's inaugural session.

The leading candidate Samir Geagea fell short of the required two-thirds majority. The next voting would be held next Wednesday. The parliament's meeting was called by House Speaker Nabih Berri to elect the president before the term of current President Michel Sleiman comes to an end on May 25. Talks over the new president are overshadowed by the war on Syria. Under Lebanon's political system, which seeks to guarantee representation for its various sects and religions, the president must be a Maronite Christian. A new Lebanese president faces massive security and economic challenges, most of them related to the spillover from the conflict in neighboring Syria.

Lawmakers in Beirut have once again failed to agree on a candidate for the Lebanese presidency.
The post has been vacant since May, while security has continued to deteriorate.
Heading into the Lebanese parliament, these parliamentarians know they have to try and break the country's political deadlock.
It's been almost four months since the departure of President Michel Sleiman - and no successor has been appointed.
The two main political groupings in the country, the March 8th alliance and March 14th alliance, have been unable to agree on who they want to lead the country.
And the stalemate has continued today.
Members of the March 8th coalition have boycotted the parliamentary session for the thirteenth time under the pretext that it opposes the March 14th candidate for the presidency, Samir Geagea - a former militia leader.
Failing to meet the necessary quorum of 86 parliament members out of 128, the vote has now been postponed until 9 October.
Imad al-Hout, a member of the March 14th coalition, says they're no closer to reaching a decision.
"I believe that this continuous procrastination threatens the institutions in Lebanon, and it prolongs the presidential vacuum into an unknown period," he says.
Ayoub Hmayed, Member of Development and Liberation bloc and 8th Alliance, added: "Unfortunately, there wasn't any quorum, and the session was delayed to the 9th of October. We hope this period will be a chance for Lebanese rapprochement."
In a bid to resolve the political deadlock, March 14th leader, and former prime minister Saad Hariri, returned to Lebanon last month - but it doesn't appear to have helped to relieve the impasse.
Lebanon is accustomed to political crises.
The country went for months without a president before Suleiman, a former army commander, was elected in 2008.
But there's mounting fears about leaving the post vacant during this turbulent time in the region.
Lebanon, home to 4.5 million people, is struggling to cope with the presence of more than a million Syrian and Palestinian refugees in desperate need of housing, education and medical care.
Meanwhile, Islamic militants have been fighting Lebanese troops along the Syrian-Lebanon border - taking some soldiers hostage and beheading others.
In June, US Secretary of State, John Kerry called the lack of a decision over the presidency "deeply troubling."
Under Lebanon's power-sharing system, the president must be a Maronite Christian, the prime minister a Sunni Muslim and the parliament speaker a Shiite Muslim.

STORYLINE:
The Lebanese parliament failed to elect a new president Wednesday after 23 consecutive election sessions due to long-standing political split.
Lebanon has been without a head of state for nearly a year since former President Michel Suleiman ended his six-year term in May last year.
The March 14 camp led by former Prime Minister Saad Hariri is backing Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea for the post, whilst the Hezbollah-led March 8 camp supports the Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun.
According to the power sharing pact, the president should be a Christian Maronite, the speaker a Muslim Shiite and the prime minister a Muslim Sunni.
The government of Prime Minister Tammam Salam is running the country until a new president is elected.
Failure to reach the required two-thirds quorum was because the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group and its ally Michel Aoun's Change and Reform bloc MPs boycotted the election sessions.
The long vacant presidency triggered the strong dissatisfaction of the Lebanese people. Some held rallies near the parliament hall recently to call for an end to the internal conflict.
"The presidency has been vacant for one year and that has caused chaos on the security, economic and political levels. We are seeing negative economic indicators, the flight of capital. Also in the security situation. If you see there is a security plan in the country, the situation is OK so far. But we are afraid that the vacancy of presidency will affect the ground,"said Lebanese citizen Raed al Khodri.
Analysts pointed out that the situation in Lebanon actually reflects the game between major regional powers. They said Lebanon is unlikely to have a president before June because the March 8 camp is awaiting a green light from its backer Iran before it sends its MPs to the parliament. Iran is using Hezbollah and Lebanon's election to put pressure on the West to secure a favorable nuclear deal.

The Lebanese parliament fails to elect a new president in a first round of voting
The leading candidate Samir Geagea fell short of the required two-thirds majority. The next voting would be held next Wednesday. The parliament's meeting was called by House Speaker Nabih Berri to elect the president before the term of current President Michel Sleiman comes to an end on May 25. Talks over the new president are overshadowed by the war on Syria. Under Lebanon's political system, which seeks to guarantee representation for its various sects and religions, the president must be a Maronite Christian. A new Lebanese president faces massive security and economic challenges, most of them related to the spillover from the conflict in neighboring Syria. -
Lebanese parliament at impasse over presidential candidate
Lawmakers in Beirut have once again failed to agree on a candidate for the Lebanese presidency. The post has been vacant since May, while security has continued to deteriorate. Heading into the Lebanese parliament, these parliamentarians know they have to try and break the country's political deadlock. It's been almost four months since the departure of President Michel Sleiman - and no successor has been appointed. The two main political groupings in the country, the March 8th alliance and March 14th alliance, have been unable to agree on who they want to lead the country. And the stalemate has continued today. Members of the March 8th coalition have boycotted the parliamentary session for the thirteenth time under the pretext that it opposes the March 14th candidate for the... -

STORYLINE
Lebanese lawmakers overwhelmingly re-elected the pro-Hezbollah parliament speaker on Thursday, despite the Iranian-backed militant group's recent election losses.
The move to re-elect Nabih Berri signalled the political factions' determination to work together toward a unity government.
The 7 June parliamentary election was a victory for the Western-backed ruling coalition, which fought off a strong challenge from the militant group Hezbollah and its allies.
Parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri, who has backed Berri, is expected to be named as Lebanon's next prime minister.
Berri has ran largely unopposed since he first held the post in 1992.
Celebratory gunfire and fireworks erupted on the streets after he won 90 votes in the 128-member legislature during Thursday's inaugural session.

Lawmakers in Beirut have once again failed to agree on a candidate for the Lebanese presidency.
The post has been vacant since May, while security has continued to deteriorate.
Heading into the Lebanese parliament, these parliamentarians know they have to try and break the country's political deadlock.
It's been almost four months since the departure of President Michel Sleiman - and no successor has been appointed.
The two main political groupings in the country, the March 8th alliance and March 14th alliance, have been unable to agree on who they want to lead the country.
And the stalemate has continued today.
Members of the March 8th coalition have boycotted the parliamentary session for the thirteenth time under the pretext that it opposes the March 14th candidate for the presidency, Samir Geagea - a former militia leader.
Failing to meet the necessary quorum of 86 parliament members out of 128, the vote has now been postponed until 9 October.
Imad al-Hout, a member of the March 14th coalition, says they're no closer to reaching a decision.
"I believe that this continuous procrastination threatens the institutions in Lebanon, and it prolongs the presidential vacuum into an unknown period," he says.
Ayoub Hmayed, Member of Development and Liberation bloc and 8th Alliance, added: "Unfortunately, there wasn't any quorum, and the session was delayed to the 9th of October. We hope this period will be a chance for Lebanese rapprochement."
In a bid to resolve the political deadlock, March 14th leader, and former prime minister Saad Hariri, returned to Lebanon last month - but it doesn't appear to have helped to relieve the impasse.
Lebanon is accustomed to political crises.
The country went for months without a president before Suleiman, a former army commander, was elected in 2008.
But there's mounting fears about leaving the post vacant during this turbulent time in the region.
Lebanon, home to 4.5 million people, is struggling to cope with the presence of more than a million Syrian and Palestinian refugees in desperate need of housing, education and medical care.
Meanwhile, Islamic militants have been fighting Lebanese troops along the Syrian-Lebanon border - taking some soldiers hostage and beheading others.
In June, US Secretary of State, John Kerry called the lack of a decision over the presidency "deeply troubling."
Under Lebanon's power-sharing system, the president must be a Maronite Christian, the prime minister a Sunni Muslim and the parliament speaker a Shiite Muslim.

STORYLINE:
The Lebanese parliament failed to elect a new president Wednesday after 23 consecutive election sessions due to long-standing political split.
Lebanon has been without a head of state for nearly a year since former President Michel Suleiman ended his six-year term in May last year.
The March 14 camp led by former Prime Minister Saad Hariri is backing Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea for the post, whilst the Hezbollah-led March 8 camp supports the Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun.
According to the power sharing pact, the president should be a Christian Maronite, the speaker a Muslim Shiite and the prime minister a Muslim Sunni.
The government of Prime Minister Tammam Salam is running the country until a new president is elected.
Failure to reach the required two-thirds quorum was because the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group and its ally Michel Aoun's Change and Reform bloc MPs boycotted the election sessions.
The long vacant presidency triggered the strong dissatisfaction of the Lebanese people. Some held rallies near the parliament hall recently to call for an end to the internal conflict.
"The presidency has been vacant for one year and that has caused chaos on the security, economic and political levels. We are seeing negative economic indicators, the flight of capital. Also in the security situation. If you see there is a security plan in the country, the situation is OK so far. But we are afraid that the vacancy of presidency will affect the ground,"said Lebanese citizen Raed al Khodri.
Analysts pointed out that the situation in Lebanon actually reflects the game between major regional powers. They said Lebanon is unlikely to have a president before June because the March 8 camp is awaiting a green light from its backer Iran before it sends its MPs to the parliament. Iran is using Hezbollah and Lebanon's election to put pressure on the West to secure a favorable nuclear deal.

"We have information about this (assassination plans) and it is correct, and the security organisations in Lebanon and Arab countries are working together. The assassination is not only of me but of (Lebanese) Prime Minister Fuad Saniora also."
6. Wide of news conference
STORYLINE:
The leader of Lebanon's parliamentary majority Saad Hariri claimed on Tuesday there is a plot to assassinate him and the country's US-backed prime minister ahead of crucial presidential elections next month, and alleged that Syria was behind it.
Hariri made the remarks to reporters after a meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during a one-day visit to Egypt.
"The assassination is not only of me but of (Lebanese) Prime Minister Fuad Saniora also," said Hariri, whose father, former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, was assassinated in a massive Beirut 2005 truck bombing that was widely blamed on Syria.
Hariri did not elaborate on the plot but when asked about reports that Syrian officials were behind it, he said, "we have information about this (assassination plans) and it is correct."
Syrian officials in Damascus could not be immediately reached for comment.
Lebanon's anti-Syrian groups that dominate the government claim Damascus is behind a two-year killing spree that has claimed the lives of several anti-Syrian politicians and public figures.
The latest was the September 19 slaying of lawmaker Antoine Ghanem in a Beirut car bombing, a week before Parliament was to meet to start electing a new president.
Syrian President Bashar Assad has rejected accusations that Syria orchestrated any of the killings.
Hariri is in Cairo for talks with Mubarak and other officials amid Egyptian efforts to help resolve the Lebanese political deadlock over choosing a new president.

GV Face: Everything You Need to Know About Lebanon's Massive "You Stink" Protests
On August 22 and 23, Beirut witnessed its largest protest in recent history, with 20,000 people gathering to tell the government that they stink. Lebanon's trash crisis started on July 17, when residents shut down the country's largest landfill in Naameh city. That landfill catered to areas of Beirut and Mount Lebanon -- almost half of the country's population. The government's inability to resolve the trash crisis resulted in mountains of garbage piling up on the streets, forcing people to walk around wearing masks. The "You Stink" movement kicked off calling for sustainable solutions to the waste problem, and got people on the streets, but the situation quickly escalated beyond trash towards addressing larger problems related to corruption within the current government.

LEBANON: BEIRUT: POPE JOHN PAIL II HOLDS OUTDOOR MASS
French/Nat More than 300-thousand worshippers crowded the streets of downtown Beirut to attend an outdoor Mass with Pope John Paul II on Sunday. It is his first ever visit to Lebanon. The site for the mass was near an area where some of the most vicious battles of Lebanon's fifteen year civil war between its Muslims and Christians were fought. The streets of Beirut swarmed with people on Sunday morning as more than 300-thousand worshippers made their way to the 34-acre field (14 hectares) where the Pope was due to give an open air Mass. Bands played, and people carried colourful banners and placards as they walked towards the site. Thousands more supporters lined the streets, waiting for a glimpse of the Catholic leader on his way to deliver the Mass. For some, the distance was to... -

With a population of 5.2 million and increasing, the three governorates of Erbil, Slemani, and Duhok cover approximately 40.000 square kilometers - larger than the Netherlands and four times the area of Lebanon. This includes the governorates administered by the Kurdistan Regional Government but does not include the disputed areas of Kurdistan outside of KRG administration, such as Kirkuk.
• The Region is geographically diverse, from hot and dry plains to cooler mountainous areas with natural springs and snowfall in the winter.
• Foreign visitors are warmly welcomed. Among the growing number of visitors are international media and business people as well as those returning from the Kurdish diaspora.
• The capital and the seat of the Kurdistan Regional Government is Erbil, a city known in Kurdish as Hawler. The Citadel in Erbil is considered the world’s oldest continuously inhabited settlement. The next largest cities are Slemani and Duhok. Please note that Slemani is the KRG’s official English spelling, but it can also be found with other spellings such as Sulaimani, Suleimani, Sulaimaniyah, and Suleimaniah.
• The Kurdistan Regional Government exercises executive power according to the Kurdistan Region’s laws as enacted by the democratically elected Kurdistan Parliament. Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani leads the current government.
• Iraq’s Constitution recognizes the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Kurdistan Parliament as the region’s formal institutions and the Peshmerga forces as the Region’s legitimate security guard.
• The current coalition government consists of several political parties that reflect the diversity of the Region’s population, which includes Chaldeans, Assyrians, Syriacs, Turkmen, Yazidis, Arabs and Kurds living together in harmony.
• More than 65% of destroyed villages have been rebuilt since being razed during the Anfal campaign perpetrated by Saddam Hussein’s regime in the 1980s.
• The Kurdish language is of Indo-European origin and is among the family of Iranian languages, such as Persian and Pashto, and is distinct from Arabic. The two main dialects are Sorani and Kurmanji.
• The Kurdistan Region has eleven public universities and several licensed private universities. Some of them use English as the main language of teaching and examination, most notably the University of Kurdistan Hawler (UKH) and the American University of Iraq – Sulaimani (AUIS).
• A new, liberal foreign investment law was ratified in June 2006, providing incentives for foreign investors such as the possibility of owning land, up to ten-year tax holidays, and easy repatriation of profits.
• To rapidly benefit from its oil and gas resources, the KRG has signed dozens of production sharing contracts with companies from several countries.
• The Kurdistan Region has international airports in Erbil and Slemani, with direct flights to and from Europe and the Middle East. A new international airport is under construction in Duhok.

Blast In Beirut, Lebanon Kills Ex-ambassador To The U.S.
AMMAN, Jordan -- A huge car bomb rocked central Beirut on Friday, killing at least five people including a Sunni politician who was a former ambassador to the United States and a prominent critic of Hezbollah.
More than 70 people were reported injured.
Plumes of black smoke billowed into the air, and television images showed scenes of blazing wreckage and scattered debris. Troops formed a security cordon around the area, close to downtown hotels as well as government buildings, including the parliament.
The death of Mohamad Chatah, an economist and diplomat, was confirmed by the Future Movement, a political faction with which Chatah had close ties. He was traveling by convoy at the time of the midmorning blast, and security officials said they believed that he had been specifically targeted.
The attack drew widespread condemnation. Prime Minister Najib Mikati called Chatah a moderate "who believed in dialogue and the language of reason." There was an outpouring of dismay on social media, on which Chatah had been active.
The former Lebanese ambassador to the United States was a senior advisor to members of the Saudi-backed Future Movement. He was also a confidant of successive Lebanese leaders, including former prime minister Rafik Hariri, who himself was assassinated under eerily similar circumstances in February 2005, when his motorcade was hit by a massive bomb.
Chatah's ties with the Future Movement, as well as his public statements, put him at odds with Hezbollah. The Future Movement has long called for the Lebanese Shiite group to stop its paramilitary operations in Syria and hand over its arms to the Lebanese state.
What was apparently Chatah's final tweet, sent shortly before the blast, reflected that view

The death of Mohamad Chatah, an economist and diplomat, was confirmed by the Future Movement, a political faction with which Chatah had close ties. He was traveling by convoy at the time of the midmorning blast, and security officials said they believed that he had been specifically targeted.
The attack drew widespread condemnation. Prime Minister Najib Mikati called Chatah a moderate "who believed in dialogue and the language of reason." There was an outpouring of dismay on social media, on which Chatah had been active.
The former Lebanese ambassador to the United States was a senior advisor to members of the Saudi-backed Future Movement. He was also a confidant of successive Lebanese leaders, including former prime minister Rafik Hariri, who himself was assassinated under eerily similar circumstances in February 2005, when his motorcade was hit by a massive bomb.
Chatah's ties with the Future Movement, as well as his public statements, put him at odds with Hezbollah. The Future Movement has long called for the Lebanese Shiite group to stop its paramilitary operations in Syria and hand over its arms to the Lebanese state.
What was apparently Chatah's final tweet, sent shortly before the blast, reflected that view

On August 22 and 23, Beirut witnessed its largest protest in recent history, with 20,000 people gathering to tell the government that they stink.
Lebanon's trash crisis started on July 17, when residents shut down the country's largest landfill in Naameh city. That landfill catered to areas of Beirut and Mount Lebanon -- almost half of the country's population.
The government's inability to resolve the trash crisis resulted in mountains of garbage piling up on the streets, forcing people to walk around wearing masks.
The "You Stink" movement kicked off calling for sustainable solutions to the waste problem, and got people on the streets, but the situation quickly escalated beyond trash towards addressing larger problems related to corruption within the current government.
Lebanon, which already suffers from poor infrastructure and daily electricity outages, has had no president for more than a year. In 2009, its parliament extended its term until 2017, with no elections, citing instability as a reason.
In this episode of GV Face we will talk to Global Voices contributor from Beirut Joey Ayoub, who has been working closely with the organizing committee of You Stink and Faten Bushehri, also a GV contributor, who has been covering the protests.

French/Nat
More than 300-thousand worshippers crowded the streets of downtown Beirut to attend an outdoor Mass with Pope John Paul II on Sunday.
It is his first ever visit to Lebanon.
The site for the mass was near an area where some of the most vicious battles of Lebanon's fifteen year civil war between its Muslims and Christians were fought.
The streets of Beirut swarmed with people on Sunday morning as more than 300-thousand worshippers made their way to the 34-acre field (14 hectares) where the Pope was due to give an open air Mass.
Bands played, and people carried colourful banners and placards as they walked towards the site.
Thousands more supporters lined the streets, waiting for a glimpse of the Catholic leader on his way to deliver the Mass.
For some, the distance was too far to walk and so convoys of buses also brought people to the mass.
Security was tight and soldiers were prominent among the crowd, searching them and using dogs to check for any danger.
Aerial security was also a feature with helicopters hovering above, monitoring the situation as well, making it one of the largest operations for a foreign visiting dignitary, ever.
Finally Pope John Paul II drove past in his distinctive Pope mobile waving to the adoring worshippers many of whom were waving red and white Lebanese flags alongside the yellow and white Vatican banner.
The hood of John Paul's glass-enclosed Pope mobile was littered with red and yellow rose petals thrown by the crowd.
Religious leaders arrived at site, to participate in the service, while government leaders and officials attended to hear the Pope speak.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"I am happy to be here for the first time, and to tell you of the love that the Church and the apostles have for your nation."
SUPER CAPTION: Pope John Paul II
Looking somewhat frail, the Pope held communion with the help of religious leaders.
The Pope repeated his call for forgiveness and reconciliation between Muslims and Christians who were fought each other during the 1975-90 civil war.
Lebanese leaders, are hoping the Pope's visit will not only highlight the reconciliation between Lebanon's 3.2 (m) million people - members of 18 religious sects - but also the reconstruction of Beirut, which was devastated by the war.
The formal purpose of the Pope's trip to was to deliver a major document responding to a 1995 report by Lebanese bishops that urged both Syria and Israel to withdraw troops from Lebanon.
The document is designed to unify and guide the Lebanese Catholic churches, and expected to back the bishops calls for withdrawal.
And late on Saturday evening, the Pope signed documents in relation to this at the Basilic Church in Harrisa.
Syria, which effectively controls Lebanon, has 40-thousand troops still stationed here.
Israeli forces and their Lebanese allies occupy 10 percent of the country in the south to guard against cross-border guerrilla attacks on Israel.

STORYLINE:
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon once again urged Lebanese politicians on Friday to elect a new president on time and without foreign interference, warning that the country currently stands at a critical crossroads.
Ban, speaking at a news conference he held at Beirut airport after meeting separately with the leaders of opposing Lebanese factions, suggested that any new president should be committed to the implementation of United Nations resolutions.
"The election has to take place on time in accordance with constitutional rules and without foreign interference and respecting the relevant security council resolutions," Ban said, in an apparent reference to Syria, which has been accused by the United States and Lebanon's anti-Syrian parliament majority of blocking the election.
Damascus has denied the allegation.
He called on the new president to be selected with the broadest possible support and said it was time "for all Lebanese leaders to put the national interest above personal sectarian interest".
"I appeal to all leaders in Lebanon to do the right things and I wish them all good luck in the best interest of their country, the region and international peace and security," Ban said.
During the news conference, Ban also referred to the role of UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) and reiterated the force's commitment "to stay as long as it is necessary."
"The mandate of UNIFIL is to carry out their task for the peace and security in Lebanon," Ban said.
Ban spoke after meeting on Friday with the head of the influential Maronite Catholic Church, Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir, and politicians from the ruling anti-Syrian coalition.
He also met with Druse leader Walid Jumblatt - head of the Socialist Progressive Party - and officials of the Shiite Muslim Hezbollah group.
Parliament is supposed to pick a new president before the term of current President Emile Lahoud ends on November 24.
But the Western-backed ruling coalition and the Hezbollah-led opposition have been unable to agree on a candidate - sparking Lebanon's most serious political rift since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
Ban warned of the possible repercussions of such a power vacuum.

"Well, what we are doing at the moment, the secretary-general Amr Moussa, he's doing the job and we are fully supporting his mission and we are trying now, after his report... The difficulty is the numbers of the governments(representations) between the parties, that's what we are now tackling to reach a solution for it."
(Q: Did you reach any kind of solution?)

We need a unified stand not for the majority and not (in favour) of the opposition."
8. Wide of news conference
STORYLINE:
Arab foreign ministers on Sunday rejected Syria's demand that Hezbollah and its allies have greater representation in Lebanon's Cabinet, according to delegates at an emergency meeting in Cairo.
Participants at the Arab League meeting late on Sunday said the majority of ministers rejected Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem's request for a new formula for Lebanese politics.
Moallem had pushed for Hezbollah to have ten ministers in the next Cabinet - or one-third of the seats - which would effectively give the Hezbollah-led opposition veto power.
Two delegates at the meeting confirmed the information, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
They spoke to The Associated Press by telephone, while the meeting was still under way.
Only Libyan Foreign Minister Abdel Rahman Shalgam backed the Syrian proposal, the officials said.
Lebanon is embroiled in its worst political crisis since the end of its 1975-90 civil war.
Former President Emile Lahoud left office on November 23 without a successor, and parliament has so far failed to elect the army chief to replace him amid bickering between the parliament majority and the opposition.
At a news conference after Sunday's meeting, Arab League Chief Amr Moussa predicted further violence if Lebanon did not elect a new president by February 11 - a date set by the parliament speaker last week.
Earlier in the day, seven people were killed in Beirut during riots by opposition supporters protesting the government's rationing of electricity.
The Arab League chief put particular blame for the crisis on pro-Syrian groups in Lebanon, saying they intentionally held up the elections with new demands.
"The secretary general of the Arab league will try sorting out participant's percentage in the government with both parliament majority and the opposition in order to reach a unified solution and this is very important. We need a unified stand not for the majority and not (in favour) of the opposition," Amr Moussa said.
Moussa also warned that an Arab leadership summit scheduled for March 28 in Damascus might be put off if the Lebanese crisis remained unresolved.
It also calls on Lebanon to form a national unity government and adopt a new election law.

Arab foreign ministers on Sunday rejected Syria's demand that Hezbollah and its allies have greater representation in Lebanon's Cabinet, according to delegates at an emergency meeting in Cairo.
