The candidate for the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah, Najib Mikati, who was appointed prime minister, urged all Lebanese factions to "put aside differences" and form a new government amid protests over his appointment. Mikati, a business magnate of communications, won the backing of 68 (57%) of the 128-member unicameral Parliament to fill the leadership of government, surpassing by eight votes to far Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who was looking to follow in charge.
After being appointed by President Michel Suleiman, the new prime minister announced that from tomorrow begin his consultations to form the government. The Hezbollah leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah denied any intention of his group to take over the state and government. Nasrallah, who has the support of Iran and Syria, called the international community to avoid interfering in Lebanese political life.
The Lebanese political crisis began last Jan. 12, when opponents quit the government because of differences over the work of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (TEL) to investigate the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
